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

Problem

Solutions: When a document is translated to a spreadsheet DIF from a Symphony database, the Symphony translation will drop End Field codes from empty fields that are at the end of a record. For example, if there is one empty field, it will drop the End Field code. If there are five empty fields, it will drop all five End Field codes. Therefore, when the file is converted to a WordPerfect secondary merge, the End Fields will be missing. As a work around, create a dummy field that contains an X at the end of each record. This way, the last field contains information, and so it will save all the End Field codes.
