I think that is the best idea. Hopefully it won't be too difficult. I can think of some other methods, but they are very UNIXy and "weird". Such as creating a named pipe, fork()'ing then exec()'ing /bin/cat in the child to write to the pipe which is then read with QSAM in the parent. This would eliminate the second copy of the data. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
