Dynamic SQL would probably be the best way. Build the select statement
using the name of the field to select data from.

Good Day,

Perhaps a silly question and an obvious answer, but I seem to have a bit
of fog about it.

What is the best way to translate a field that contains the name of
another field to be able to reference the second field. Other than do a
bunch of compares.

DCL-S Field1 char(8) INZ('FIELD2')

To be able to use FIELD2 in calculations. FIELD2 is an actual field in a
record, but I only have the literal name of the field.
