How to Mass Create Records in a Sub-Table.

I now have packages arriving internationally and have found that they may have several tracking numbers as they move through various countries and/or carriers.  I can no longer keep up with this using one field and have created a sub-table for this purpose.

I have transaction 1327 records that I would like to create in the sub-table, moving the carrier and tracking number from the transaction table into the sub-table.

 

I need to take data from 2 fields in a table, create records in a subtable and put the data there. I'm encountering situations where packages that travel internationally have multiple tracking numbers and now need a subtable, not a single field, to keep them straight.

    let t := (select ParentTableName);
    let n := 0;
    let c := null;
    let s := null;
    for i in t do
    n := n + 1;
    c := i.Field1;
    s := i.Field2;
    let p := (create ChildTableName);
    p.(Field1 := c);
    p.(Field2 := s)
    end

    Use below code instead of the above code:

     

    let t := (select ParentTableName);
    let n := 0;
    for i in t do
    n := n + 1;
    let p := (create ChildTableName);
    p.('Carrier Number' := i.'Carrier Number');
    p.('Tracking Number' := i.'Tracking Number')
    end
