BatchMove and a field Constant

I'm moving data from a MSSQL 6.5 table to another MSSQL 6.5 table that
has some new fields.  I want one of the fields to just get 'D' placed
in it but BatchMove tells me there's no field named D.

In another instance of this I will be taking a phone number field that
was 10 characters and splitting it up into area code, prefix, suffix
using substring.  But my guess is the BatchMove won't do this either.

Is there a way to get BatchMove to do the above?  If not, is there a
way to write an SQL statement that will do something similar to
batchmove like commit every 100 records and keep going on key
violations (or overwrite the record on key violations)?

Thanks.
