Thanks for the tip, Kolusu; it worked great! Now, I was trying to create a second command file, without that last comma and field. For example, the statements you gave me created -UTL COPY,TABLE,B400-TRANHIST(0003),HST0400A
and for the second file, I need -RPT FIELD,TABLE,B400-TRANHIST(0003) How easy is it to omit the last 9 chars (the comma plus the HST0400A)? I was thinking that I could use a "1" and "2" indicator to create the Build I need, and then only select the OUTFIL/OUTREC for the command file I am building - is that the best approach (every selected record will create both command files)? And finally, I had wanted to print out the report in its entirety that I use for SORTIN. I tried to add a simple OUTFILE for SORTOUT, but it only had the reformatted input. Is there a way to do that here, or will I need a separate Gener step? In total, I am trying to create three output files: 1. The command file with UTL COPY (which I have) 2. The command file with RPT FIELD 3. The original input file.
