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. Dump output directed to spooled file 11, job 193795/WALDENL/WALDEN_A1 created on system xxx on 09/01/05 16:20:03. Function check. MCH1210 unmonitored by QSPDSPF at statement *N, instruction X'06C0'.

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 *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 1-9-05 at 13:56 Booth Martin wrote: >You would really like the %date() and %time() BIFs. >
