Just off the top of my head, you might want to look at pipe stages READER or UR .. I think that might work .. or look at READCARD which is what RECEIVE calls .. .

However, RECEIVE sets them up as record format "V" - and I want them to be "F". I see no options for this on the RECEIVE command itself. Is there any way around this? David Wakser InfoCrossing
