There is a thread in the archives titled "Last Record" which began June 20, 2007 and contained several suggestions using SORT products to obtain the last record of a data set. You might see if any of them will meet your needs. HTH, Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith Co.

Do you have any idea on how to get only the last record of a very big file using either REXX or some other method? I will want to prevent reading all file records in any any case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
