Unfortunately, C'30FF' is much different. You have to convert to HEX to do the comparison. And, I have not been able to see how to do it in RAW panels. You need an exit, or a wrapper, to convert to C2X and do the comparison. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 This e-mail may contain confidential or privileged information.
