Michael,

I think you should test the contents of variable EDIREC.

BTW, I think this code is wrong:
>      EDIREC = %SUBST(Record: StrSbs: EndSbs);                      
>      StrSbs=EndSbs+1;                                              
>>>>>      EndSbs=EndSbs+80;                                             

EndSbs should always be 80, as it is the length of the substring.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
