Yes, for the result the OP finally stated I agree joincont would be the way to go, but that was unclear in the original post. Thus the "'||join * /;/', /* process one group here */" in my post to suggest additional logic could be applied even though yes, that too could in most cases could follow a simple joincont. It just got me to wondering though how much could be done in terms of emulating a sipping rexx stage without resorting to rexx. Which led to the poser of why the take last - gate construct didn't work as I would have expected. That's the real reason for my post, not suggesting a solution for the OP's message.
