Is it just me or does anyone else think this is confounding - the output of the list users command in UniData contains tab characters, which is just another obstacle the engineers give us to program around! 011: Licensed(UDT+CP)/Effective ^009Udt^009Sql^009iPhtm^009Pooled^009^009Total^25 3

I have found the tab character to be extremely effective in delineating columns of information. The simple command: SWAP CHAR(9) WITH @VM IN report-table Instantly changes the report to a usable table in UniBasic. Using any 'printing' character (like the pipe '|' or caret '^') is unreliable as

Anyplace you have to parse output is confounding!! I think most of this is in system() variables - but there are some things that don't seem to be... Listuser is also an .exe in the \bin directory. Have you tried parsing that output? It may be more advantageous if you're close to your user
