QTP output update item statements

[Mary McNairney]

Hi,
I have a QTP program to read fileA and add/update the contents into existing fileB, and it correctly adds all new records.

However the update doesn't seem to work without an item statement, although the manual says the record structure will be updated if it is different. As these files have over 20 items, I wondered if there is a short cut so that I do not have to specify an item statement for every item.

Any ideas?
Mary.
