Thanks, the only problem is that they are same file, one is logical, your
second method almost working but not quite.

What you need to do is set it up in one of two ways:
Clear format1
Read format1
Write format2
Or
Read Format1
Write format2
Clear Format2
I usually use the second option.
This way you remove extraneous data before you read in the record you intend to
write.

Subject: Clearing buffer
In an RPG program, some records have only a few fields populated, whilest other
records have more fields populated.
A simple program is pushing records from one file to the next. But with some of
them, they are getting data written that does not belong.
I tried CLEAR but this clears the entire record.
What should I be using?
Thanks,
Mike
