Everyone,

The logical file with the two fields omitted makes the most sense.
But I am trying to create a timestamp based on data in the original file.
In an incredible stroke of far-sightedness for something created over 20 years ago, the original file had an 8 digit date and 6 digit time. I want to carry those over as a time stamp. ILE RGP is pretty handy to convert my digits into time and date, and then just add them together to create the time stamp.
So I will create a logical with just the id omitted, let the program create the time stamp and see how far I get.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll report back what works.
