Thanks, Dana. The parentheses set the text off enough that it no longer looks like you're supposed to be typing it as well as the number. Unless someone tells me there is a standard for AS/400, I'll go with this. My brain is mush after just half a day of reformatting, and I'm only on page 33 of a 600+ page book. The people who worked on this stuff before me had no clue how to use Frame--there are character tags defined, but they aren't used. Everything is an override. Bob "Love people. Use things.
