Hi  
I am trying to work with Natural group in order to perform the following:  
define data  
1 #g1  
2 #g1-f1 (a1)  
2 #g1-f2 (n2)  
1 #g2  
2 #g2-f1 (a) dynamic  
end-define  
#g1-f1 := “a”  
#g1-f2 := 23  
compress numeric full #g1 to #g2-f2  
reset #g1  
Now I want to fill #g1 group as it was using #g2 (or #g2-f1), but I cant find the way

If #g1-f1 cannot be blank, then use  
`SEPARATE #G2-F1 INTO #G1`

If #g1-f1 is blank, SEPARATE will fail or give an invalid result.
