this is a variable length file; are you sure that the header record is 23 char long (or 19 + 4 RDW). With which Utility are you viewing the file? Are you sure you are not viewing the records with their VLI (variable length indicator)?
you may need a parm to indicate range length of acceptable records, but maybe not, I don't know syncsort. _________________ Dick Brenholtz

tempuser,
You are getting the error because you did not specify the position to overlaid . so change your control cards to the following(assuming that you wanted to overlay the same field as the look up field.)
