Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Hi,

As long as all the relevant datafiles have been read or chained, then the fields are filled and will be displayed on the record when you use exfmt. If more than one file needs to be updated, then you’ll also need extra updates in your program.

This can get tricky when you have the same field names in several files (possibly with different data in each file). Hopefully you won’t get yourself into that sort of situation.

Regards,

Martin Gilbert.

    If you're adding a new file to the program you can include the prefix keyword in the F spec example Prefix (p2_). Then there is no chance of field name overlap. The new files fields woudl be addressed as p2_fieldName instead of their native name of fieldName. Good Luck Phil
