I like it - this pipe 'thingy' has lots of capability and lots for me to learn.

Locate searches anywhere within a record. Given that you didn?t do a split to put the userids on separate lines, I?d think that ?pipe cms q n | locate /ESA/ | console? would work better. Also, q n is a CP command, not a CMS, so actually, you?d want ?cp q n? as the first stage, just to avoid someone creating a ?q? exec and messing you up. To really get down to the meat of it, you?d want to do something like: ?pipe cp q names | split at /,/ | strip leading blank | locate /ESA/ | console? Someone will argue that the strip should be after the locate for efficiency sake, and that would be true for a huge list. For Q N, it shouldn?t be an issue. -- .~. Robert P.
