Thanks a lot for the above - I have tested that and it works really nicely for what I need - there is just one scenario which I don't think I explained too well before;
That seems to be an understatement. I don't see that you said anything at all about this scenario.

However, reading back through your first post, I did find that my suggestion is incorrect. It only uses COL2 as the key; not COL2, COL3, and COL4. I assume that you can easily modify the code I suggested to fix that deficiency.

Are you now saying that the start year (I assume that you noticed that the code I suggested doesn't care about the month and day values other than to determine whether or not a record needs to be created for the maturity year) is the same for every account in each file you'll be processing? Or, do you have a database somewhere that has to be consulted to find the start date for each different key (i.e., each set of COL2, COL3, and COL4 values)?
