Glad you like DFSORT. :-) As for date/time conversions, have you looked at what DFSORT's DTn, DCn, DEn, TMn, TCn and TEn formats? They can be used with BUILD and OVERLAY to convert various types of date/time stamps (SMF, TOD, ETOD) to edited displayable forms. I'm not sure it can do everything you want to do, but I believe it can do some of it. If you need something you can't do, feel free to send me a note offline with more details so I can add it to the candidate list.
