Please use the code tags to present code, data, anything requiring a fixed pitch font.

The error messages begin WER which means that you are using Syncsort - topic moved

Try referring to the syntax for OUTREC - is PARSE compatible with BUILD? I would do the parsing on the input phase (INREC) not the output phase.

Thanks for the reply Nic.

If you only tried just to count open/close brackets in you statement, you'd find the error immediately.

Can you count pairing brackets?
