Also, you need not repeat ALSO on each line of the filter. Also, the LSTOWN-L archives give pragmatics on the use of various keywords. When you can't find something in the manual, try searching the archives. E.g., e-mail [log in to unmask] (1) /* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */ //ListSrch JOB Echo=no Database Search DD=Rules OUTLIM=5000 f=mail //Rules DD * S 'filter=' in lstown-l where sender contains eric index #.5 date.8 subject.64 /* // EOJ /* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */ (2) wait for output to be returned then scan output looking for item numbers (#'s) that would interest you. Then modify (1) as: (3) /* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */ //ListSrch JOB Echo=no Database Search DD=Rules OUTLIM=5000 f=mail //Rules DD * S 'filter=' in lstown-l where sender contains eric print #,#,# /* // EOJ /* --------------------- clip and save ---------------- */ Been there, done that, works for me. -- co-owner: INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L URL:mailto:[log in to unmask] "Don't drink n' drive on the info. super hi-way"
