The substring idea fit the bill. Thanks all. Now if only I could get the
darn system to stop giving me an error when I view the spooled file.

 Receiver value too small to hold result.

Subject: RE: Formatting TimeStamp (Z) fields on PRTFs

Walden,

If those BIFs do not work, then you canfiddle with the %XLATE BIF as
well. With XLATE you can format a character string any way you like,
even with punctuation.

I use it to convert dates like
ABCDEFGH (date1)
EFGH-CD-AB (date2)
Date1:Format1 XLATE Format2    Date2

(I know I could use date fields to do this, but getting it from a
numeric field on to the screen, this was a little easier to do.) 

Just a thought.

Regards,
Carel Teijgeler
