Problem

Solutions: One customer wanted to create a smaller secondary file using a secondary file that contained 60 fields per record. This is an example of how this was done: 1. Create a primary file containing the field codes needed for the secondary file. For example: {FIELD}3~ {FIELD}50~ {FIELD}9~ 2. Use the {MRG CMD} (Shift-F9, 6) code to insert the new {END FIELD} and {END RECORD} codes. For example: {FIELD}3~{MRG CMD}{END FIELD}{MRG CMD} {FIELD}50~{MRG CMD {END FIELD}{MRG CMD} {FIELD}9~{MRG CMD}{END FIELD}{MRG CMD} {MRG CMD}{END RECORD}{MRG CMD} 3. Perform the merge using the new primary file.
