Hi All

If I create a file using a dynamically created alias how does one refer to the fields of the table in code? For instance, lets say I create a cursor and use a variable for the cursor name.
cMyAlias = "MyFileXYZ"
CREATE CURSOR ( cMylias ) ( Name C(30) )

SELECT (cMyAlias)
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE &cMyAlias->Name with "Fred"  && This works ok
Must one use macro substition with "->" notation to do this?

Thanks
