The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When merging a WordPerfect primary file with an ASCII delimited secondary file, a customer was only getting every other record. Other customers have reported this problem happening without merging with an ASCII file. Solutions: The primary file had one more field than each record in the secondary file. Deleting the extra field in the primary file corrected the problem.

Another customer found that this happened because there was a line of dashes after the {Next Record} code in the primary file.
