Hi,

I have several thousand records with multiple 774s in each record.  Some of the 774s need to be replaced with a new field.
I was able to merge the new field in each record as a 990.  For example,

774 $t A title $w 12345
774 $t The title $w abcde
990 $o 12345 $t A title $w 67890

$w and $o in 990s are different in each record.
There is only one 990 in each record, or there is none.  


I would like to :
1.	Match the $w in 774 with 990 $o.  
2.	If they match, remove that particular 774 (keep the other 774)
3.	Change 990 into 774

The resultant record would be like this:
774 $t The title $w abcde
774 $o 12345 $t A title $w 67890

How can I do that?  Thank you for your time!

Myrtle Bell
