Why did you not post some sample input and output data? And, by the way, there is no such thing as "junk values" -- the values may not be human-readable, but they are values from the collating sequence and as such may require interpretation, but they are NOT "junk".
Is the data set fixed length or variable length? If variable length, did you account for the RDW in your OUTREC positions?
