Is there anyway.. If not it would be a nice wishlist feature.

[John Hemmer]

I have a field number in a dummy variable. 

I would like to update the field value. not the
field number. something like the inverse of
using FIELDVAL to obtain the field value 
when you have the field number in a dummy 
variable.  

Given that F contains the field number and 
V is the new value to put in the field, I was
hoping I could update he field by codes such

as:  (F)=V ,   but I get a syntax error when I 
do a syntax check with dcabe.

I know I can accomplish what I want to do
with MID commands and by equivalencing
the real fields to an array, but I was hoping 
I would not need that much code.

Is there a simpler way to accomplish this.
