FACT(s) (Environment):

CAUSE:
Syntax error
FIX:
To copy just a list of fields from one buffer to another make a procedure ( or function ).
Example:
PROCEDURE myBufferCopy:
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER hbSrc as handle.
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER hbDest AS HANDLE.
DEFINE INPUT PARAM cList AS CHARACTER.
DEF VAR vi AS INT.
DEF VAR ctmp as CHARACTER.
DO vi = 1 TO NUM-ENTRIES( cList ):
/* get the field name */
ctmp = entry( vi, clist ).
/* copy the field from one buffer to another */
ASSIGN hbDest:BUFFER-FIELD( ctmp ):BUFFER-VALUE = hbSrc:BUFFER-FIRLD( ctmp ):BUFFER-VALUE.
END.
END PROCEDURE.
