Well, I must be "Bard". Right? I missed the thread before Jon's reply, but here's why I use CHECKR. There are a lot of machines still running that don't have the ability to use %len. Many more than you think. I always try to write my software to work on the lowest OS possible, whether IBM is "supporting" that release or not is irrelivant. People, and a lot of them, are still using it. I also state in my book(s) that the %len bif can be used in place of it. Sorry if I'm not Bard and you were referring to someone else. :) Brad On Tue, 13 Aug 2002 08:54:08 -0400 "Joel R.
