Robert:

(might want to check out another thread - This isn't the first where I made 'questionable assumptions'.

17 posts in this thread, and we are finally getting around to what the OP would have said if he knew enough to do so.

He only wants to print some records from a vsam file. quite a leap from this:
Can anybody send me the syntax for opening a VSAM file through Print command?

Read? Read! Read?

most posters do not even read the preceding posts; why expect them to read a near document type thing? the whole (hole) idea of this forum is to try to find some eager-beaver to provide code for 'my' problem. Why read, when one can just continually type 'I NEED THIS or is it that, or that and this, or that that and this'?
