Specifying the Source Field at Runtime
You can use the WRITE TO statement to specify the source field at runtime. To do this, enclose the name of the data object which contains the name of the source field in parentheses and place it in the source field position:
Syntax
WRITE (<f>) TO <g>.
The system places the value of the data object assigned to <f> in <g>.
However, if you want to specify target fields at runtime, you must use field symbols as described in
Working with Field Symbols.
DATA: NAME(10) VALUE 'SOURCE',
SOURCE(10) VALUE 'Antony',
TARGET(10).
...
WRITE (NAME) TO TARGET.
WRITE: TARGET.
This produces the output
Antony
The connection between field names and field contents is shown in the following diagram.
