RE: Character String help

Actually, a control record would be a very good idea, and just as fast
as a data area (for all intensive purposes).  Could you repost your
journal question from the weeks prior?

        A note of caution:

        Beware using a Data Area if you are going to rely on Journalling
to provide
        continuous availability. (Refer my question two weeks ago),
rather use a
        control record in a data file.
