Joe, Your reply to me is below. I'm sorry you can't help with the ASP error code capture but, I just had to answer the rest of your note. ALL data files, I can think of, that are not DB2 relational tables(DB2 on MVS, VM, VSE or UDB, for sure) or hierarchical files such as IMS or network architecture files(what was it IDMS), or Partitioned Data Sets(AS/400 uses something like this SOMETIMES), are flat files. This regardless if they were created with DDS, are one big record in structure or what have you. Sincerely, Dave > From: Dave Odom > > an iSeries flat file. I can't help much with ASP access, but I was wondering what an iSeries "flat file" is. Back in the day, a flat file meant a file with no intrinsic format: for example, 80-byte card files. You had to map the fields yourself using data structures or the like. On the iSeries, you create such a file with a CRTPF command using the RCDLEN parameter. Physical files and logical files with DDS are NOT flat files, by this definition. What in your terminology makes an iSeries file a flat file? What is NOT a flat file? Joe
