Dan, If you are doing this via green screen I don't see much of a need for screen scraping per se. If you are -not- using DDS green screen, go ahead and hit delete now :) If you want to know that they pressed the function key at the customer number location you can add something like this to the DDS: (we use this for F4 style of field level pop up) A RTNCSRLOC(&CSRREC &CSRFLD) A CSRREC 10A H (current record name) A CSRFLD 10A H (current field name) If it is a subfile that shows a list of customers, add this to your program: (not column correct ... we use this for a point and select functions) F* -----------------------------------------------------------------* FXXXXXXXXCF E WORKSTN F KINFDS $INFDS I* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I$INFDS DS I B 282 2830WSROW$ CURSOR ROW I B 284 2850WSCOL$ CURSOR COLUMN C WSROW$ IFGE 09 SFL SCREEN START ROW C WSROW$ ANDLE21 SFL SCREEN BOTTOM ROW C* Determine which subfile entry the cursor was at when Fkey pressed C WSROW$ SUB 09 WRK040 40 SFL OFFSET FROM TOP OF PAGE C WSTOP# ADD WRK040 WSSFL# WSTOP#=SFL REC# AT TOP OF PAGE C* Determine the customer number / order number selected for processing C WSSFL# CHAINSUBFILE WSSFL#=SFL REC# CURSOR AT (call your program here) C ENDIF You don't say if management wants to do this mail merge in real time (letter on demand) or if a batch process is to follow. Batch is simple, output to a file, FTP the file to your PC and import it into WORD. Come to think of it, you could probably do the same thing for a demand process. Can't talk about execution speed though. Would need an FTP server running on your PC I think. Hope I didn't totally miss the boat as to the nature of your request.
