Colin,

I would start using one field in the FRF as the base field to refer to in other 
DDS based objects, like PFs, DSPFs and PRTFs.

Perhaps a good idea to build a new FRF with that approach. For instance: how 
many fields are defined for prices. You only have to define one with the 
required length and format and have the other fields refer to that. If the 
field length has to be changed, you only have to make the change once.

Just a thought.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
