Problem

Symptoms: The user has a primary file that she is merging with the keyboard. Whenever she's in the middle of a merge and notices a change that needs to be made, she goes up to make the change, then comes back and the next time she press F9 it puts the end field code before what she just typed instead of after it. This is what her primary file looks like: {input}enter name~{MrgCmmd}{end field}{MrgCmmd} {input}enter address~{MrgCmmd}{end field}{MrgCmmd} {input}enter city, zip~{MrgCmmd}{end field}{MrgCmmd}{MrgCmmd}{End Record} HrdPg {MrgCmmd} {Nest Primary}~. For example, she types in the name when prompted to do so and then press F9. Then, she notices she made a mistake above so she uses her arrow keys, fixes the mistake and then comes back to where she left off. She types in the address and then when she presses F9, it puts the end field code before the address and messes everything up. Solutions: This problem should be fixed in the interim release after the 1-19-90 release. I tried it on the testing date of 1-24-90 and the problems no longer exist. When you get this release and if you continue to receive problems of this nature, please come and see me and I will retest the problem.
