Uh, what are the symptoms? The compiler abends? The compiler puts out some message? I don't know what the program does, but it might make sense to try to do some "functional decomposition" on it to break it into smaller "chunks" (subroutines). Then create a main routine which simply calls those subroutines. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
