What is the best way to translate a field that contains the name of another
field to be able to reference the second field. Other than do a bunch of
compares.

DCL-S Field1 char(8) INZ('FIELD2')

To be able to use FIELD2 in calculations. FIELD2 is an actual field in a
record, but I only have the literal name of the field.

Do you mean you want to access the contents of FIELD2 by referencing FIELD1?
