"Joincont leading blank" followed by specs that puts words where you want them?

Hello, I'm trying to process a report which is the output of CA-EPIC's catalog listing. Most of the detail lines of the report look like the first line below, with the dataset name followed by the volser and other information all on one line. However, if the dataset name is longer than 17 characters, it will be split like the second and third lines below, so that the dsn is on a line by itself, followed by the rest of the information on the next line. Z0926.LIB.BKUP SS0017 2 1 Z0926 01/06/05 BACKUP.POST.REFRESH.EPIC SS0037 1 1 BACKUP 05/17/04 What I'd like to do is get these all into the same format while keeping everything lined up. Something like this: Z0926.LIB.BKUP SS0017 2 1 Z0926 01/06/05 BACKUP.POST.REFRESH.EPIC SS0037 1 1 BACKUP 05/17/04 I've been trying to get something working using SPEC with an IF and a READ but I can't get it to work right. Not quite sure how to know when I need to READ that second line. Or maybe SPEC is the totally wrong approach. Any advice? Thanks, -- Jeff Henry
