It actually turned out to be simpler to code than I thought, but I wound up doing the buffering on the whole file, rather than just the part before my target timestamp. I MERGEd in the target, then PICKed it back out, then added it back in downstream of the BUFFER so it would arrive just before the previous buffered group of records. What if I split this into two problems? MERGE|TOTARGET splits the file in two before the target timestamp. Now how I would I take the section after the last timestamp in the first file? I guess Rob's idea of using JOINCONT to make single records is what I've done in the past. ¬R
