What is a Combine Records Stage ?

hi
I tried a lot to get a combine records stage workking. I just can't figure out the idea given in the documentation.
Well, i did get the idea that it combines records from the input link based on the key fields specified, but cannot digest this idea of sub-records and all that. I did try it out and even though my job is compiling, it is giving an error :
"
Sequential_File_2: Error when checking operator: Could not find input field ID
Error when checking operator: Could not find input field Name
Error when checking operator: Input "Addr" is not a value field
"
The table definition I've used contains 3 columns ID (key) and two other varchar fields. I've used the same for the output sequential file stage also.
Should I be using a different metadata in the output link
SOS !!!
