Minor Perl script to totally remove IDCAMS title lines from a LISTCAT. Use of "tsocmd" fromdsn -r 'idcams.output' |\ perl -n -e 'next if m/^1IDCAMS /;next if m/ LISTING FROM CATALOG /;print;' |\ todsn -r 'idcams.output.notitles' What's bad about VBA? I do it all the time. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
