Actually, the GET DESCRIPTOR logic that I have built does exactly that. It
handles a variable number of columns, types, sizes, etc. The only part I am
having trouble with is getting the DATA back out of it. I'm just missing
something in how it retrieves it and the field it is putting it in.

Consider CASTing the database column to a generic-sized variable in RPG.
