Have you no pride??
Before we get carried away down a rat hole, what you expect to happen if there were 5 prunes following apple? Also, how about posing all your questions at once?? Is someone paying you to ask these questions???? Or are they paying you for the answers? ___________________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "There's no sense in being precise when you don't even know what you're talking about."

This is so cool I am getting you guys to write my pipe and I am getting paid for it. NOW .. Let's suppose that sometimes there is a PRUNE following that APPLE. I don't want to mix PRUNE's with APPLES and ORANGES so how can I get rid of that nasty PRUNE? But ONLY if it is immediatly following APPLE. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marty Zimelis Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 1:09 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Realy simple pipe insert ? Modify the SPECS stage to 'SPECS /ORANGES/ 1 write 1-* 1 |', emiting the string ORANGES before copying the existing record, rather than after it.

This works pretty good. There shouldn't be multiple APPLES, but if there is it is OK to add 1 ORANGES for each APPLES. But how do I get the ORANGES to get inserted BEFORE apples? 'PIPE < TEST FILE A', '|XXX: IF LOCATE /APPLES/ ', '|SPECS 1-* 1 WRITE /ORANGES/ 1', '|XXX: ', '|> NEW FILE A' -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hughes, Jim - OIT Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 11:55 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Realy simple pipe insert ?
