Would comparing fields from one file to another be the only reason to read an external file into a data structure? If not, could someone give some other examples on why you would do this.

Thanks,

You just saved me from writing 26 boring subprocedures which compare
and move a bunch of fields from one file to the other.

Apparently, using the EXTNAME keyword doesn't then allow you to use
the defined data struct for reading into, or updating from.
