''abc¬*'' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN) 3. '''abc¬*'' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)' 4. ''''''abc¬*'''' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)'' 5. '''''''abc¬*'''' PCRE2.TESTLIB(GRPIN)''' I will try that ZA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
