Using C:D 5.2 and yes I had tried that :-) The 'error' message, if that is what you want to call it, claims invalid VOL=SER= usage. Banging head against the wall removes the pain of trying to figure this out but that is only temporary. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.

If not working, what version of C:D do you have? Do you see any error message(s)? Are you using C:D batch or online?
