Bob,

>Was it COPYIN and COPYO?  Or was it INPUT and OUTPUT?  I don't recall...

It was COPYIN and COPYO -- that code was cut & pasted from a portion of my
CHGDFILE procedure from the '80s.  I just cut out the extra stuff which had
other options and error checking as well.

EG, I checked to make sure I could allocate the file exclusivelly, that the temp
file did not already exist, had options to purge out records based on comparison
tests, yada, yada.

That is just the simplified version of what I used way back when...
