Nancy, is it possible that you are hitting @wbrk2 4 times and ofile is not blank?  I seem to recall that there was a bug or quirk with long field names in output processing not where the values were not carrying over properly.  Perhaps declaring ofile in automatic processing will clear this up.

You will probably be able to see what is going on with the debugger of course.

Good Luck.
