Hi All,

I am trying to set up a select statement, I do not know the field name ahead of time. I do an AFIELDS() to get the field name, since there is only one field in the table. I need to change the field name to another name which I get before this select statement. I am thinks this way:
SELECT EVALUATE(latmp[1]) as &lcnewfield. FROM &lcoldfile. ;
   INTO TABLE lcnewfile DATABASE &lcTAbleDbc.
Am I using the macro substitution too much? Can I do this easier? or nicer?

TIA
Beth
