It's a small question, but there isn't a small answer for it.

If Gary, the OP, really is using RPG III, there isn't any* solution to his problem other than the one he already showed in his question, using a temp field. So our choice is to answer "sorry, you have to create a temp for each field", or to answer "here's how you can do it in RPG IV".

* Well, there is actually another RPG III solution which is to use I-spec renames to rename the fields of one of the files, and then do manual assignments from one set of fields to another.
