Barry, I don't use SMP/E, so I'm not familiar with the actual output it produces. If you could show me an actual example (with real values in their actual positions) of the records it produces for several elements and the output you want (with real values) for each element, I'll try to come up with a DFSORT/ICETOOL job for you. Also, what is the RECFM and LRECL of the input file? Feel free to e-mail me the information offline ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if you prefer.
