Very cool!! I see it is in V5R3 for sure - might be in V5R2 - did not take time 
to look it up.

Won't this work too: 

UPDATE FileA set Field2 = INSERT(Field2,89,2,'XX') 
WHERE substr(Field1,1,3) = 'TRD' and substr(Field2,89,2) = 'AA' 

without all that substr stuff.. 


WHOA! Jack is my New Best Friend! I wasn't even aware of that particular 
syntax, Jack... thanks!
