Booth,

That would work ok.  I might just do something like that.  We have 3
machines, and I just want to add the system serial number (that's how we
refer to our machines) to reports.  We display the program info, but I would
like to see which system the report came from as well.  What you suggest
would work as long as after I'm dead and gone, someone changes the data
areas if we change machines.  (We are CISC, and by god, hoepfully at some
point, go to RISC, which is a serial # change.  I have seen many other
suggestions, but want to keep the code down as much as possible.

Thanks to everyone for their input.......
