Apologies, I missed to add a detail.

As an alternative to using reference modification, I was trying to check if the fields could be moved AS IS from the input dataset to the output and later have the unwanted spaces removed in one go, using a COBOL command or via a SORT step. Any occurrence of more than one space consecutively is to be removed.
