That's what I suggested to them. However, the programmers want a "generic" facility so that they don't need to bother telling anybody about a new FTP'ed file. Using a dataset trigger requires updates to CA-7 to trigger a different job for each dataset (unless you know another way!). Also, everytime a new dataset is created, then they need a new ftp job and a new trigger to be entered. They don't want to "bother" with this. They just want to have it so that they just create a dataset with the correct high level and "somebody else" takes care of the rest. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
