Pierre, You can probably accept the text objects in the order you find them because as you note, you don't really have other options. However, you probably shouldn't make assumptions regarding the other objects. In SYS1.SAMPLIB you can find an example of processing MDBs. IEAMDBLG reads MDBs from the log stream and converts the messages into SYSLOG format. You can see that it first finds and extracts information from the general and control program objects and then goes back to the beginning to look for the text objects.
