and
MOVE

That is not working since both the records have many redefines clause. I tried moving it this way

MOVE CORRESPONDING WS-REC1 to WS-REC2

But this way also it is not working....

MOVE CORRESPONDING only moves fields with the same name and structure; unless there's a lot of name duplication I can see why it wouldn't work.

Why don't you just READ and put both definitions in the FD? I don't normally recommend working in the buffer but there are times when it can be handy.

Could you please be more clear on using the FD? Im sorry i have not used it earlier.

Hello,

You can specify multiple record layouts for a file in FD one after the other. Each layout will be an implicit redefinition of the original layout.
