Jack, Looking at the results, something does NOT add up. Your HLQ is 8 bytes, however you have defined the symbol for it as FMT-HLQ as 12 Bytes. May be the garbage values are being considered as a break. Can you turn HEX on the 3 record output and see if you can see any values after the hlq ASCLI ? You can change the symbol FMT-HLQ,*,12,CH To FMT-HLQ,*,08,CH Now re-run the job once again and see if you are getting the right results. If you are still getting incorrect results, then please terse the DCOLLECT file and send it as an attachment to my email offline and I will see if I can find something.
