Ron,

Sorry I hit send button a little too fast.

In my example I was combining two files to create a third.

The following should work for your example - just change the record length
this one uses 235.

      *  Target File:
     FOutfile   O    F  235        DISK

      *  Source File 1:
     FInput     IP   F  235        DISK


     D  OutData        S            235


     IInput     NS
     I                                  1  235  ARcd


     C                   EVAL      OutData = ARcd
     C                   EXCEPT    OutFile

     OOutfile   E            OutFile
     O                       OutData        B   235

Hope that helps.

Lester

Subject: Moving an entire record to another file


Hi All,

Sorry about the recall.

I need some help within one of my programs.  I need to write an entire
record from one file to another.  The layouts of the files are indentical
except that the field names are prefixed differently.  All that I want to do
is to move the record from CADJ(format name) to CADH(format name) and write
it out.

I tried to externally describe the files in data sturctures, but still get
error messages.  I am not sure what is is that I have wrong in the D specs.
code follows.

DFMTJ           E DS
D CADJ
DFMTH           E DS
D CADH

Error Messages follow;
*RNF0516 30      2 Name is not allowed since it has already been defined;

                   specification is ignored.

*RNF3523 40      2 The external description of the externally-described data

                   structure was not found.



TIA
Ron
