On a few sparse occasions it turned out that someone had solved their problem by using B for blank-after in column 39 of an Output spec. My real question though is: why are you deriving YY, MM, & DD from UDATE? Why not just use *YEAR, UYEAR, UMONTH, & UDAY in the first place? ---------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin --------------------------------------------------- +--- | This is the Midrange System Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to "MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com". | To unsubscribe from this list send email to MAJORDOMO@midrange.com | and specify 'unsubscribe MIDRANGE-L' in the body of your message. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---
