Mark, Thanks for the help but unfortunately I don't have access to the AS/400 or the operators but apparently they've already said no to this request hence we are being a little more creative :))

I've only done a tiny bit of CL, but I should think that you could reroute the o/p to a file. Now, keep in mind that the only time I worked with an AS/400 was 1987-8, but you might also dig into the manuals, and see if they've added some stuff that was part of CICS...pcsup...can't remember, but it wasn't too hard to write a CICS app, no screen, that would accept access from the pc, and select a bunch of data on the fly, and d/l it. mark -- "GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY!" - Megaphone Mark Slackmeyer, Doonesbury -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
