Is there any free utility program out there that allows you to do a key search on a Ksamxl file and report a record to the screen? Jean Huot Northern Credit Bureaus Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know of any free report writer for Ksam files, but if you want a dump of a file for a key value you can use FCOPY. :FCOPY FROM=ksamfile;TO=;SUBSET="char string",start key column This will dump the ksam file (CM or NM) to your screen. Of course the TO= options of CHAR, HEX, OCTAL can be used. Use KSAMUTIL for CM to get the column start of keys, or LISTF ,5 for KSAMXL files. Mike Berkowitz Guess? Inc.
