RE: compile error RNF3523

[Shari Koehler <Shari.Koehler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that was the issue with the error. Now it doesn't like that my field names are the same for both data structures so I will need to do a rename and a little more coding. Thanks so much for the help.

I believe that you need to specify the acutal record format name that you
want to be used for your data structure, not the renamed value from the "F"
specs.
