Paul, this is just an example. In the specific case, i changed the original dd name.we does a lot of budget shrinking projects by converting expensive products to cheaper ones, or even to alternatives such as rexx depending on client requirements. The issue is that the conversion program we develops ad hoc for the specific needs needs more code to handle simple situations such as this one.
