Hi Ed, You are "the man", and I mean that sincerely (your questions and comments at the TDM's are legendary as far as I'm concerned), but isn't the parsing in REXX better than Clist? I have no knowledge of IKJPARS and you can bet I'll be looking it up; I always found the PROC statement problematic, and that is the only way I knew to pass data between. I'm *sure* I am needing to learn here.

Emulating this processing in REXX code is a fairly large undertaking. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 edja...@phoenixsoftware.com http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
