Hi Charles, I have read through the thread with some interest, though I do not know you or which product you are working on. Would it be possible for your code to preallocate the receiving dataset? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
