Thanks for the article. I will read it just to see what it suggests.

There is an article I found that provides information on using REXX to handle
SMF Records. Looks like you might be able to use the DATE function
in REXX to do
what you want. Just a thought.

Due to the variable length segment issue, just using Sort Cards to map the
file is not going to fly well. IMO, the simplest way of extracting
the needed
fields is to just have someone who is capable of writing simple
Assembler code
to just write a program to extract the fields and output a simple file with
them. This file can then be sent through the sort which consolidates and
counts them to output a report whenever a field changes.
I know that you are looking for a way to have sort handle all the work, but
doing the record selection/parsing is better delegated to something that can
locate the data. Back in the when I was still coding, this type of task was
one that I would toss off as a Quick&Dirty project in an hour or two.
