Hard code or portable code

[Brian Yennie]

Hershrev,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "hard-code".
If you want a persistent way to reference a field, regardless of it's 
name, you can use the ID.
Or, to get all of the fields, something like:

repeat with i=1 to (the number of flds)
   put fld i after myVar
end repeat

If you want to write a function that always returns you the latest:

function latestFields
   local myVar
   repeat with i=1 to (the number of flds)
     put fld i after myVar
   end repeat
   return myVar
end latestFields

HTH,
Brian
