BPAM would be far more efficient in CPU and I/O. So it is ease of coding vs. cost of running analysis. If this is run 100s of times a day, then I'd go with BPAM. If it is run once a month, who cares? But it seems silly, to me, to design HLASM code in a CPU inefficient way. If CPU doesn't matter, use REXX. Or a UNIX shell script. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
