Dang, David, you beat me to it. ;^) I was just going to suggest the same
thing. Just because the OP wanted to use ED (a hammer) to drive in a
screw doesn't mean that it is the best tool ( a screwdriver). Good answer.

I would take my saved list and copy it to a text editor then using copy
commands and a quick macro convert the list into a bunch of COPY FROM FILE.A
BAD.KEY, GOOD.KEY commands. Then save it as a PA and then execute it.

Subject: [U2] UniData PreStore to change the KEY of a record?
I am always using what I call 'PreStore' command...
In the AE editor, I need to change Attb 2 from A]thisbad]C]D to be
A]thisgood]C]D on a list of items...
So I get the list, AE FILENAME and then...
=FIX 2`R/thisbad/thisgood/`FI`=FIX
Viola! The data is updated.
I have a need to 'fix' a KEY to a record...
Is there a way to use a PreStore command that could do that? It's 95
records. Too many to hand edit. Too few to write a program. A PreStore
would be JUST RIGHT... if there was a way to do it!
