well if I understand your requirement you could define a field as follows.

eg if your first name starts in pos 2 and is length 9 and last name starts in pos 11 and is length 14 then

NAME W 25 A
NAME-FIRST NAME +1 9 A
NAME-LAST NAME +10 14 A

then code

NAME = whatever-your-input-name-field-is-called

then refer to the appropriate fields

Thats too easy so I suspect that is not what you are asking!
