Well, if you do the I/O in the REXX program itself by using EXECIO, then the DCBs can be unlike. But that is a lot more overhead in the program. DFSORT, with the correct control cards, can copy to unlike DCB attributes. It can even convert from FB to VB or vice versa. -- 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.
