Hi Mike, No they are not sorted, that was the problem, I was trying to keep them in the input order but I can do that by adding a SEQNUM using INREC.
I have been looking at this for a couple of days and it makes perfect sense now that you ask but I couldn't see the wood for the trees.

COPY does no sorting, just looks at the records in the sequence you already have.
