I've been having a slightly different problem with this. I had a program that I would have like to have had a 3 line error message to be displayed via DOERR. Unfortunately, based upon my empirical evidence, DOERR breaks at only the first \010 (decimal) displaying the rest as if they were \158 whereas DISP breaks at all occurances of \010. I'm sure the former is for efficiency, but I must admit surprise that the two commands work differently. I would be interested in any concrete info on this and how to circumvent it :-). -JimC -- James H. Cloos, Jr. "Entropy isn't what it used to be."
