Setting parms in CL for PF - correction

["James R. Newman, CDP" <newman400@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One correction.  If record is found, it then checks about 5 fields and if 
the fields are identical in both records, no update is performed.  If 
they're not the same, the info from File1 is moved and written to File2.

Sorry...I gotta quit posting this late.
