Problem

Symptoms: Merge Troubleshooting Tip: The customers merge is skipping every eleventh record. Solutions: The customer was merging into a table with 2 columns and five rows. Each cell contained merge fields and the {NEXT RECORD} command. Removing the {NEXT RECORD} from the last cell (10th cell) solved the problem. The {NEXT RECORD} commands were necessary to move from cell to cell but the one in the last cell was causing WPDOS51+ to skip every eleventh record because the end of the primary file causes WPDOS51+ to go to the next record and the {NEXT RECORD} command was causing the program to go to one more record.
