Alexei: You are right that your solution was not the best from a performance point of view (yes I tried it) but I really enjoyed it, very impressive. I use SQL all the time and it's great to learn something new. It's definitely true that RPG is the right solution here but I these kinds of things give an idea of what is possible in other situations where it might be appropriate. This is the best tip since I saw the bicycle icon in David Kahn's sig file! I've also been taken aback by how the thread developed. FWIW I'm a big fan of OPNQRYF too, also since good old realease 8 of CPF. Of course, when I write the RPG program I will use the RPG cycle and level break indicators but I don't want to start a big ruckus on the merits of that style :) Thanks to all who responded.
