Thanks for pointing out %08X (pad 8-character field with zeroes to exceed default precision). I'm not that big on C/C++ as yet, still learning. So are IBM z/UNIX programmers, apparently.

Here's one that always looks strange to me: "You have 1 records" I think that *does* take some extra C coding to fix unless someone can tell me some printf tricks. Years ago I wrote some assembler macros and subroutines to simulate C string routines, including printf. I seem to remember having logic that would scan the next word in the source string looking for a trailing S, and would drop it if the number displayed was 1. For example: #PRINTF 'You have %d records',COUNT ... would result in good grammar no matter what number was displayed.
