It is a combination of a SEARCH action, a FOR action, and an INSERT action
that will do the trick. Get the results from Table A in a search and put
them into a local/request scope variable called 'l_results'. Set up a FOR
action with the counter variable called 'l_counter' and the To attribute set
to <@NUMROWS ARRAY='local$l_results'>.

Put the insert into the FOR action and for each of the values use <@VAR
NAME='local$l_results[@@local$l_counter,x]'> where x represents the field
order from the original search.

Hope this helps,

Steve Smith
