Re: Validating a member name

Don,

Are you looking for a "valid" name? The command variable type *NAME,
*CNAME, or *SNAME might do the trick.

Or are you looking to validate existence? In that case you might try
RTVMBRD (Retrieve Member Description).

HTH

BTW, I work for one of your vendors.  Want to do some home grown EDI?
