Lines: 14 Thanks for the response. We have no DG expertise here and we do not know the layout of the data in the INFOs files. Our customer also does not have the sort/merge utility, so we are borrowing a machine. We need to find out if using sort/merge is straightforward - especially when we do NOT know the data layout... Can you help us answer this question by giving me a feel for what sort/merge will require in 1. knowledge of data structure, 2. actual steps/syntax. -- Deborah Bishop (uunet!mhinfo!bishop) Mile High Information Services Suite 3400 9101 E.
