Yes, you should retain the original value in REFORMAT and then in the INREC IFTHEN, evaluate if it is a matched record, and then OVERLAY the data from F2. So only for matched records the field will get overwritten. For non-matching records, the field will remain unchanged.
This is untested, but it would look something like this:
