The whole issue is IBM keeps telling us to not depend on the format of command output. And, we do! I have many REXX EXECs that do; I just live with it. I've contributed a few to the CBT, and I'm pretty sure a couple are going to die in 1.7, but we're not there yet. But, when I do get there I shall fix them, and send updates to Sam G. I just can't fix them without a running 1.7 system. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
