David,
As Dennis pointed out, doing a simple EVAL (RecordOut = RecordIn) will
simply copy the bytes, starting at the left-most byte.
However, if you either specifiy LIKEREC(*ALL) for both record formats or use
EXTNAME rather than LIKEREC, then you could simply use EVAL. So a follow-up
question would be why you're not using either of those methods - what
exactly are the differences between RecordIn and RecordOut? In the vast
majority of cases, they would be the same (for database files)...

p.s. There's nothing *wrong* with EVAL-CORR, but it's pretty rare that you'd
need it.

I was looking at the code I wrote last year. Well, last week actually, but
it seemed a long time ago. There I was, like the next developper called upon
todo the maintenance, and I said to myself, "Why has he put EVAL-CORR? -
that would suggest that the two DS were not the same". So, I went back to a
move, as in my OP but then asked myself if was safe, hence my question.
