Or use FIELDVAL().

    FIELDVAL(-,"aa") returns the value of dummy field aa, or a null
    string if there is no such field.

    FIELDVAL(-,"37") returns the value of field 37, or a null string
    is there is no such field.

    FIELDVAL(-,"@RN") returns the record number.

And so on.

The second parameter is an expression, so you can also do something
like:

    FIELDVAL(-,FieldName)

where "FieldName" is a variable containing the name of the field whose
value you want.
