Howard, It's not clear to me exactly what you want to do. Do you want to omit records with blanks in 1-9 from the output file? Or do you want to make sure records with blanks in 1-9 are kept but NOT "summarized", or what? What type of numerics are in positions 1-9 (character, ZD, PD, ?)? Do they have leading zeros or leading blanks or ? Please show an example of the records in the input file and what you expect for output.
