Are you mixing VENDOR_NUMBER and VENDOR_NAME?

Do you have MISSING=ON in your source master?

There is also another setting called HOLDMISS that will propagate missing values to a hold file.

You can do a keyword search on the IBI site to get additional details.

Maybe the blank Vendor Number field is not ACTIVE in the MODIFY, so I would do it this way:

TABLE FILE SWFFEDVENDOR
PRINT
SHIPPER_NAME
WHERE VENDOR_NUMBER IS 'None'
ON TABLE SET ASNAMES ON
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMP1 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-*
MODIFY FILE SWFFEDVENDOR
FIXFORM FROM TEMP1
MATCH SHIPPER_NAME
ON MATCH COMPUTE VENDOR_NUMBER = '';
ON MATCH UPDATE VENDOR_NUMBER
ON NOMATCH REJECT
DATA ON TEMP1
END

Verify that you actually have records in file TEMP1.

Try this:
DEFINE FILE SWFFEDVENDOR
VENDOR_NUMBER1/A10 MISSING ON= IF VENDOR_NUMBER IS 'None' THEN MISSING ELSE VENDOR_NUMBER;
END

'' is NOT the same as NULL
Also, trying to do this from a HOLD FORMAT ALPHA file is going to be a problem because fixed format alpha is going to have a hard time trying to represent a NULL field. A space is a space.

One other thing to bear in mind that if it is a key field, or part of one (with missing? Confused) then it would not be updated either. I would have thought that this scenario would have generated an error but the grey cells won't give me access to that part of the memory bank Frowner
