Fw: one record overwrites another record

[Dennis Malen]

We have used the same processing for many many years in 4.8. It never 
happened. We also went into 4.8 to try to replicate it and was not 
successful. It is not a problem in 4.8.

Ken, it is not my processing but something peculiar to 5.0. I also 
understand that others have had the same problem and you have not been able 
to fix it.

In any event, after many hours of trial and error we have fixed the problem 
by placing a -w on the lookup - line. For whatever reason it did not keep 
the info in the buffer to be improperly written to the other file. It is my 
understanding others have used another approach which is to have the lookup 
take place in @entsel.

Anyone who is interested I will be more than happen to share my findings and 
resolution in more detail. Please call me at the number below and I will be 
more than happy to discuss.

Regards to all,
