>Hey Bob, this is a neat way to handle this! What I like to do is use a custom class as a wrapper to my SCATTER NAME object. The wrapper creates it, keeps track of the table name, field types, unique id, a recno() & reccount() if necessary, plus it has a basic loop thru table method that I havent really needed much since I added it. Same idea I think, except I never make use of AddProperty, and the name value I give SCATTER NAME is meaningless (SUBSTR(SYS(2015), 3, 10) ).

I may give your method a try to see how it works. There are so many options available to accompish the same result! I have been considering adding table schema info to mine but haven't really found a need (yet! :>) ).
