Thanks Gil, for the remainder, But apparently I didn't learn fast enough... Made the same mistake in another program :(
Other than that, my little project is closing on to light at the end of the tunnel The best part, it only added a handful of seconds to the process!!! In some LPARs not even 3 seconds, in development of course the files are small up to 25K. But still I am surprised! I thought the process would take minutes... ... but seconds?... ...kudos to the sys progs at BofA ...what nice jobs can be accomplished with pipes! :)
