Well in your original code you were EVALing individual fields - I was just pointing out that there was a simpler way.

If globals works for you then you have a scenario where qualified DS are not needed anyway.

I don't see why you have to do it every time - that doesn't make sense. You do it as and when you need to update/write to a specific file and you do it just before the output.

You say that global also presents problems - what are they?

We could offer better suggestions if you told us the design issue you are facing rather than showing us code. If we know what and why you are trying to achieve we may be able to offer a more satisfactory alternative.

Well, Jon, There lies the problem: To do what you suggested, that means
each time the program performs chain/update/write/read, I've to do
remember to do eval-corr to make sure all version of qualified DS
contains the same data. The best choice seems to be to not use
result-field DS (fall back to global). But this has its own problem
also.
