Replace Values from FOUND SET

[Jarvis]

I would like to be able to:

Create a FOUND set

Navigate to any particular record within FOUND set

Select any particular field

Copy the contents of that field

Replace the values for that particular field in all other records

using the value of initially selected field.

(I hope I explained that right)

Any ideas how to make this happen?

Could I launch this replace function or would I need to start at the top record and work down?

Thanks Jarvis

PS: Can anybody tell me how to change my operating system & FM level? I selected FM 10 Advanced on Tiger but the profile indicates FM9 Panther.

The Replace command would easily do what you want. However, it is not multi-user friendly, in that any record that another user is editing would be skipped.

The FM info is in your Control Panel.

I figured it out!

The code is:

Copy[select]

Go to Record /Request/Page(First)

Paste[select]

Loop

Go to Record/Request/Page[Next;Exit after Last]

Paste[select]

End Loop

Um..why not use Replace? Copy/Paste is not best practice.
