James,

Unfortunately, none of the permutations I tried using
level breaks generated the correct sequence of segments,
spaces, and line breaks.


You didn't provide much information on the FOO file, so I'll assume we have
fields CustID, NoteID, SegmentID, and Text.  We never need the segment ID
portion at all.

Consider the following code snippet:
<pre>


    FFoo       IP   E           K
Disk
    FBar       O    E           K
Disk


    D AllNotes        S          16384
Varying
    D CRLF            C
x'0D25'


    IFoo
NS
    I                                          CustID
L2
    I                                          NoteID
L1


    C   L2              Eval      AllNotes =
''
    C                   Eval      AllNotes = AllNotes + %trim( Text ) + '
'
    CL1                 Eval      AllNotes = AllNotes + CRLF +
CRLF
    CL2                 Write
BarRecFmt

</pre>
The first calc line above clears the varying length output field.  The next
line appends a segment of text and adds a space.  At the end of a given
note, I append two CRLF pairs -- the first to end the paragraph and the
second to put a blank line between them.  The final calc line is where the
AllNotes field can be written to the Bar output file.

The above does leave an extraneous blank before the line breaks at the end
of each note, but I don't think that is any big deal.
