Hum, I was thinking of using a SORT step before the reformatter to select the records that I wanted. But that leads to another thought. Implement the reformatter as an E35 SORT exit. That eliminates all the I/O from the routine. It just becomes a "simple" subroutine called by SORT. > >/Tom Kern > -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
