Re: Browsing an ASCII file
Forgive my ignorance, but we're not at 1.9 and I would like to browse an ASCII file, so could you elucidate on the following: I think the display by CCSID (or acronyms like UTF8 / ASCII) has been around since z/OS 1.7.

Use ISPF help for the display command. But briefly, while browsing the file you can type things like DISPLAY ASCII or DISPLAY UTF8. You reset it by DISPLAY RESET.

Probably not.:-D Admittedly, UNIX file browsing - including ASCII - was only added about 8 years ago, and ISPF app-ness only 5 years ago. No doubt, ISPF does it better now, but still, the price was right... :) Now all we need is support for ZIP archives.

Sorry - I wasn't clear. I meant the ISPF Browse (nice) and ISPF Edit (even nicer) support for processing files within a ZIP archive. But, probably no business case You can already browse zipped data with REVIEW (plus util) online, and copy some or all unzipped records to a data set. That's free also. :) Cheers, Greg -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

Re: Browsing an ASCII file
If you are using z/OS prior to 1.9, you can use some handy shell scripts that we built for handling the conversion. Included in these is aobrowse, which can be used from an OMVS session.
