Not wild about that one Hans - for one thing I don't think I'd ever be able to
remember it <bg>.  It's just too arcane. One of the things I was trying to
suggest with %Part - %Segment - %Subfld - %Item was that the portion extracted
depended on the *D or whatever that was coded - I don't see that the BIF needs
to have a strong association with date/time/timestamp per se.  Who knows - there
may be other things we want to extract components from in future - why tie it to
DTZ?
