Hello all,



I have this situation: a physical file having, let's say, 50 fields and
another file having one-field of 2000 characters long; I would like to
move the entire record from the first file to the second one...

Obviously, this could be accomplished using %subst BIF but I could bet
100 bucks there is a better and simpler way (I've tried something with
data structures but I couldn't make it work).

Any suggestion would be appreciated.





Thank you





Florin Todor
