Re: compile error RNF3523

It seems that was the issue with the error. Now it doesn't like that my
field names are the same for both data structures so I will need to do a
rename and a little more coding. Thanks so much for the help.

I believe that you need to specify the acutal record format name that you
want to be used for your data structure, not the renamed value from the "F"
specs.

Need help getting past this compile error. I have 2 logical files that I
