In ISPF the semi-colon is a logical-end-of line character. You can either change it to something else, or enter x x'5e' (the hex equivalent of ;). Or do you want the "hide x" command so that you don't see the dashed lines on the screen where the excluded lines are? I'm not sure. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
