Updating one file from within another

[Vicky Prigg]

I would like to, while in one file, open up a new record in another file
and be able to post data to it and then update the new record with the
rest of the data that I need.  Right now, I am using lookup to a free
record and posting the data over.  I used a SYSTEM command to take me to
the screen in the other file.  I can't use POPUP UPDATE because I need
some input processing to take place in the lookup file.  My problem is,
I can't tell the SYSTEM command to go into that record that I just
created from the lookup.  The SYSTEM command just takes me to index
selection using the -xi flag.  I can't even use a saved selection set
because the value of the field changes with every record.
