It only worked for fields in a structure where you passed the address of the field and the next field and it subtracted the addresses? Was there a way to make COBOL pass a dope vector with descriptions of the field? -- Binyamin Dissen <[email protected]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
