Thanks, Kris. Let me see what else the list produces; I am playing now with EXECUPDT but I don;t think it will do enough to "hide" some sensitive passwords, etc. I wish we had the Rexx compiler, but I don't believe we do. David Wakser

But, don't misunderstand: COL is an invaluable tool to extend the power of XEDIT, it does however not compress EXECs: it was compressed itself, whict a tool whose name I forgot. EXECUPDT, adding sequence numbers isn't hard: "XEDIT my EXEC (WIDTH currentLRECL+10" RECFM F #SERIAL ON ALL FILE = $EXEC = 2007/12/24, Wakser, David < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >: Kris: Where is COL XEDIT? I don't find it on my normally linked disks. And EXECUPDT says that there must be sequence numbers - which I don't have in these EXECs.
