I already pestered Chris and will probably distribute from here for him; but now that I think of it (his files are text) he could probably build the job and send it himself. I was thinking of the nasty tricks needed to concatenate non-80-byte records on as //DATA and offered to do it for him. BTW, I don't suppose you coded a quick-and-dirty to help with that process, did you? I usually end up manually doing the DMSDDL stuff and telling myself I'll write one next time :-) /Jeff/
