In an RPG program, some records have only a few fields populated, whilest other
records have more fields populated.

A simple program is pushing records from one file to the next. But with some
of them, they are getting data written that does not belong.

I tried CLEAR but this clears the entire record.

What should I be using?

Thanks,
Mike
