For simple copy operations, there is - IMHO - no objection to using APPEND FROM. If you have more complicated transfer requirements, you can program a loop, like this:

local loRecord
use Source in 0
use Destination in 0
select Source
scan
scatter name loRecord
loRecord.Field1 = && change values while you copy
select Destination
append blank
gather name loRecord
endscan

You may have to enable buffering in "Destination", if (temporary) blank values are not accepted because of triggers.
