Yes, with OPEN/READ setup, there is no issue. With the TRANS setup, I'm forced to do a double TRANS (since I need more than just the @ID and <1>), One TRANS for the data, and another to verify existance if the data is ""
I preferred to use the TRANS over OPEN/READ because it was easier to code for dynamicly changing filenames. But with ease comes issues. I had to convert this over to an OPEN statement, and a READ. It's not really an issue any more....and wouldn't have been an issue had there not been a chance that <1> could = the @ID, then it would have worked as expected.
