Oops. The ISTR line should have come first, with the "If I'd" line as an aside. I put it elsewhere in my draft reply then moved it without being careful enough. Which is ironic as ... The point I was trying to make is that it's easier to understand code if variables which contain eg dataids, ddnames, filenames are all given appropriate & accurate names. If they're related the naming of every related item should use the same naming convention/form/structure. You'll probably say "but it was just demo/test code". All the more necessary (if you'll refer to it in future) that you do it right in the first place. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
