Is the zIIP/zAAP suport just for parsing XML documents or does the support also extend to the creation of XML? If so we might look at creating a standard for data formats and store everything in XML. We should be able to offload tons of cycles to the special engines then. -- Mark Jacobs Time Customer Service Tampa, FL ----------------------------- How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven.
