In these cases, you often want to avoid the overhead of program initiation and instead just open each file in turn within the program. Search400.com member Naveen Dronavalli shares a way to accomplish this task. >> CLICK here to view the complete tip: http://www.search400.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci861910,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= SUPPRESS THE DUPLICATE KEY MESSAGE | Expert Advice: Search400.com Dear Ask the Expert, I tried to suppress the duplicate key message (CPF5009 and CPF5026) while building an extract file - known duplicates, using a COBOL program.

You must be a PC user! Researchers in Japan have debunked the idea that the misery of the monitor-manacled masses is all in their minds. Their study of the effects of prolonged computer use found that people who work in front of computer screens are more likely to develop headaches, eye strain and shoulder pain, as well as feel tired and unmotivated. Those who spend more than five hours per day chained to the PC also have trouble sleeping, experience stress and face problems with co-workers. Isn't this nice to know? Now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to get an aspirin, schedule a massage and take a nap.
