We have both these tools from the CBT tape and have discovered that they have certain problems with the VS-E format. You cannot, for instance, max down to the bottom, or browse backwards. Not that that negates their benefits...

DSN . "BR" DSN /* USE GILBERT SAINT-FLOUR'S BR: FROM CBT FILE 183 */ /* REV" DSN */ /* USE GREG PRICES REVIEW COMMAND FROM CBT FILE 134 */ If you have REVIEW or BR, simply put this exec in a SYSPROC/SYSEXEC ISPF library and you will be able to browse VSAM (for free). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
