Not to imply that the STORAGE value is meaningful, but for that LOCATE stage as-coded you really want STRLOCATE, not LOCATE.
E.g. 'PIPE CP IND LOAD', '| STRlocate /STORAGE-/', '| xlate - blank % blank', '| specs w2 1', '| var PctStorage' You might want also to download PIPEDEMO and PDEM from http://vm.marist.edu/~pipeline/ PIPEDEMO makes it really easy to find this type of thing.

Does anyone know of another way to obtain this from within a REXX exec?
