I tried the SYSTEM() command with the OR as opposed to the AND. This seemed to work. I have one book in my hands which tells you to use AND, on prompting from someone on the LISTSERV I searched for more info and found another book that said to use the OR. So the OR's have it!!!! Thanks everyone!!!!!!!
