Is there anything different about your emailer this time - normally your
stuff comes through fine. Maybe it's just me, or perhaps you've done it
so *nix systems can't view it ;-)

You may not like shell stuff, but it does make some jobs easy. I'd love
to have the time to get to grips with all the streamfile API's to work
with the IFS, but I don't have that luxury. A few QSH commands in a CL is
very handy; for instance in splitting & zipping files we need to email.

Just one more QSH tip, if Java is installed:

QSH CMD('jar -cfM myfile.zip file1.csv file2.csv')

to zip files on the IFS :)

BTW although I'm pro-Linux, I'm not anti-OS2. I ran Warp 3 when that was
released, but switched to the dark side when '95 came out. I did try
recently to install it on an old PC, but the PC was too recent, and the
install disks didn't recognize any of the hardware :-( We don't even have
it at work any more - all gone NT/2K :-(

Regards, Martin
