If either
1) The names were the same but the order was different
2) The names were different bu the order the same

Then yes.

But in you case, it's not possible directly.

1) Either code each field on its own eval
2) build (import?) a new DS with the same order as one of the
existing, but with names used by the other existing. Then you can just
do:

eval newA = origA;
eval-corr origB = newA;

Hello all!

This is my challenge: I have a data structure (let's call it "source")
filled with data that I want to copy over another data structure (let's
call it "target").  Both data structures have the same number of fields
(114) and all these fields have the same field attributes on each data
structure (ie. item number: 15 char, standard cost: 19.8 packed, etc...)
but the issue I see is the fact that they have different field names and
they are in different order in the respective data structures.

I want to eventually do something simple like:
EVAL TARGET = SOURCE

Can this be possible?

TIA,
