RE: EVAL-CORR

No, you do not need a DS to do that. In fact you can uise the famous Cycle
for that.

Read a record
Change a field
Write anew record

This works since the dawn of days, even in RPG III. A simple read-write
programme, like printing a list, so basic.

I think you do not give us the complete picture.

With regards,
