That is what I suspected, but I could never get the writeseq to write back to the file. I tried CLOSESEQ and then a WRITESEQ of the new data but since they were not the same length maybe it was preventing the write. I would have thought that it would overwrite the first 2 records if it was longer than the original.
thanks anyway.

If they are different lengths, you have no alternative but to copy the file, making the amendment on the way.
