Sharron:

How about another method:

If you have QEDIT from Robelle, text in the file and set the language to text
and set the required length, then do a keep.

If you need to perform it on a group of files try the following:

1.  Listf @,6 > abc                                 ? it dumps the full file
name into a temp file
2.  QEDIT
3.  T abc
4.  C 1 to "T ", all
5.  C 30 to ";SET LANG=TEXT;SET LENGTH=requiredlength;K,YES", all
6.  K abc,unn
7.  USE abc
8.  EXIT
