Hello,
I am exporting a pipe delimited alpha file to one of my clients. Apparently, anything after field X needs to be wrapped down to the next line. Does anybody know how to make wrapping work in WF so that my alpha file will look right?

I tried creating two hold files (one with the first record and one with the second record), then MATCH merging them together, but that didn't work. Thanks!

I think you are on the right track though. Add a dummy key to your hold files. Make it 1 for the primary row and 2 for the second row.

Then use MORE or Universal Concatenation to put them together, sorting and noprinting by the dummy key. Don't forget HOLDLIST PRINTONLY.

Yeah, that is what I am working on now... although I have a bunch of records... not just two. So, what I need to do is make the counter in hold file 1 to be all odd numbers (1,3,5, etc.). Then the counter in hold file 2 to be all even numbers (2,4,6...). Then MORE them together and sort by counter. Does anybody know how to make the counter fields look like this?

One more question. Will you have more than 2 output rows for each input?

Also the MacGyver technique might help you here.
