I suggest the original output be directed to a regular file, which would make reading it for the split much simpler. If that's not an allowed change, oh well (or ow, hell?).
I think I might suggest to the client that I could replace the existing vendor product for say, 50% of the cost. That should give you the motivation to find the time to write it. sas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
