Problem

Symptoms: When merging a primary file that pulls in two nested secondary files, the merge only works for the first record. When it starts the second record, it brings the first field from the last nested secondary file. When the primary file is cut down so that it nests only one secondary file, the first half works as planned. The second half still brings the first field of the nested secondary back to the primary file when it goes for the next record. Solutions: The primary file was missing one {NEXT RECORD} command and the second nested secondary file had quotes (") in some of the fields. These quotes were interpreted as merge syntax by the expression handler. Adding the correct command and removing the quote marks allowed the merge to work properly.
