Actually, when the file exists XEDIT sets WIDTH and TRUNC to fit, just like on CMS. The point was when creating a file in the ring that does no exist on disk and will not be written. The 255 was because I specified it on the XEDIT command in my pipeline filter (as a default width for displaying data). I only changed it to do a BFS file because you asked. A former co-worker used to create files by copying a single wide file to prime the pump. That would work for this pipeline thing too. Rob
