The OP didn't want to compare, but to search both PDSes for a string. By copying to 80 byte records, you increase the probability that the string will be split across two records. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
