I have the data format below, and I would like to filldown with specific field value base on command Field1.
i.e.  Fill Field2 with character 'B' if Field1 is 'A'

       Fill Filed2 with character 'C' if Field1 is 'B'
Data:

Field1Field2Field3Field4
A fooAbarB
A abcdef
ABghijkl
BCfooBbarC
B aaabbb

Change to below format

Field1Field2Field3Field4
