Bob,
I am new to the AS400 and I am very impressed with the range of things
an AS400 professional has at their disposal, originally I am from the
S36 world and I agree that *CAT / *TCAT / *BCAT can be a pain in the
hinterlands, on the S36 you could do miraculous things with substitution
expressions.  Could you provide us with an example of what you are
describing.  Your answer gives enough information to follow.. but an
example would be appreciated.  Just like in the NEW IBM Softcopy CD
manuals.. examples..examples examples.. I love them.
And I would appreciate it :)
