Thanks for the idea. It may be easier than trying to reverse engineer TRSMAIN. Assuming that I had the talent to do so and it is not forbidden by IBM. <----- snip -----> What about infozip <URL: www.info-zip.org >? Knowing nothing about RACF IRRADU00 reformatted records, a question: Is it possible to transfer less data using DFSORT/ICETOOL to extract what you need or even to found the problematic records (or the number of them)?
