I don't understand why the solution is so complex. If the spaces all line up in fixed columns (I hope this assumption is correct), then simply coding OUTRECs for each field non-blank would accomplish the desired output. I've coded many hundreds of DF/SORT jobs and I don't see a degree of difficulty. If I'm missing something obvious, I'll appreciate clarification.
