Thanks a lot for the replies. The platform is Unix.

Actually the point is that in the suprtool block , the data in the file
is accessed as though the file were a self-describing file( in suprtool
, the dictionary file being .sd). I mean to say that the data in the
file (the .dat that was copied from a .sf file)is accessed with the name
of the field in the file (.dat) , .

In order to avoid writing a block to redefine the fields and then
extract the data to produce the .dat , i wanted to know if i can
directly copy the file and still maintain the structure so the
subsequent data access is made thru the field names itself.

I just hope I have made some sense in my mail.

Happy New year to all of u :)

Thanks and Regards
Subashini
