WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer's merged document had field 4 from one record combined in the same document with fields 1 and 2 from a later record. He was using the {NEXT RECORD} (^N) command in the secondary file. Solutions: {NEXT RECORD} is not designed for use in the secondary file. The command could confuse the record pointer during the merge and cause a problem similar to the one described above. Many operators wrongly believe that {NEXT RECORD} can be used in a secondary file to skip an address that isn't wanted. See pages 898 and 947 in the WordPerfect 5.1 Reference manual for more information.
