I wrote a rexx once years ago to format and display a sequential file 
respecting carriage controls.  At the time it was to make the memo to users 
from a CBPDO a little more readable.   But as much as that document used '+'  
to suppress spacing for bold and underlining, I couldn't make get it to come 
out looking ok since obviously you can't simulate overstrike on a display.   I 
can look to see if I still have it around if you like,  it could easlily be  
changed to read an SDSF output file if that's what's needed.
