I don't know how viable an option this is but can you transfer that mainframe file to a PC, open it in Notepad, use Courier New font, then use Word Wrap to get 80-character lines? Just a thought.

From my understanding Synctool is directly compatible Icetool.

This is statement for statement.

If fact, when I inquired for a Synctool manual from the company, they referred me to the Icetool manual.

So while the SORT products may differ, the TOOL products are the same.

SyncTool is aliased to ICETOOL at many (most?) of the shops, when one writes an appliction using ICETOOL at a SyncSort shop - SyncTool will be invoked under the covers. The probelm is that if your Job malfunction because of the "SynCTool's assembler routines or exits", you're your own - there is no support available and so no document to refer to. And it's tough to predict, without experiments, that which ICETOOL feacture is available with the SyncTool at your shop...just my $ .02...

Disclaimer: I'm not the spoke person for any of these products and my statements are my own based on the experience.
