Tom,

    DUP and RDUP allow for duplicate values within the same key.  My problem
is that the program won't write the same value to two different keys.  Just
to be sure, though, I tried adding DUP, and then RDUP, to my build command.
The problem still exists.

    As a few side notes - When I change the program to write the data to a
flat file, it is writes the data correctly.  If I change the file to have
only one key, it acts the same as it does now.  It's as though, I can't
write the same data in the KEY and NON-KEY fields.

This is too weird.
