1. When you say "READ using File-Aid" - what exactly do you mean, I'm confused?
2. Show the example of input and the expected output from that, with the rules to get the output - someone will be around with a better suggestion.

The way that I do that for a sequential file is to use the DROP function. It is similar to the COPY function in that it copies the input file to the output file. However it "drops" the records which meet any of the if conditions in the $$DDnn statement.
