The imports I'm doing have over a hundred fields. I was hoping to overlay the array and avoid the manual assignments ( aa=imp(1) ). I ended up taking Richard's suggestions and overlaid the dummy fields with an array. It still required manual assignments but was much easier to work with when processing the individual fields and ultimately coping the data to the correct lookup file. 

Thanks everyone.
