Which is why (thank goodness!) IPCS is able to handle the big output with small region sizes - you look at what IPCS gave you until it hit the region size limit, and then you tell IPCS to give you the next batch. Works like a charm and avoids having to print in batch to a file that you then browse. Disadvantage: The coding is probably more difficult (but that's Bob's problem :-) ) Regards, Barbara -- 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat http://www.gmx.net/de/go/topmail +++ GMX - die erste Adresse für Mail, Message, More +++ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
