Howard, The INCLUDE keeps only the records with the dashes. You can use a SORT statement to sort on the fields in their original places. Alternatively, you can use INREC instead of OUTREC to create the table records and then use a SORT statement to sort on the fields in their new places. Be sure to remove the OPTION COPY statement or it will override the SORT statement.
