simpler to access the same dataset using two file-definitions
synchronize file1/file2 reads on the same header
use file1 to keep reading until the next header remembering if the current block must be copied.
if so read file2 and write until the next header
otherwise read file2 until the next header
repeat until done
beware ...
You have to process the last block of records remembering that You have an end of file instead of a new header

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort![icon_cool.gif]()
