So, I want to use IBM utilities (RACFRW [1] , IEBGENER, IRRDBU00, IRRADU00, ICETOOL, zConsul, SMTP, etc) to produce and send out reports, but somehow I wish to clear out column 1 in one or other way [2] before sending out them as e-mail text. I am still reviewing all the replies (IEBGENER, ICETOOL, DFSORT, text to PDF, etc.) and your answer about LRS/DRS to see what I can do with what is available. Lots of RTFM and experimenting! :-) Many thanks for your kind reply. It is much appreciated! Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - Shhh! Don't ask. I know RACFRW is not recommended for the last gazillion years or so. [2] - Mind you, the auditors don't like 'massaging' those outputs. It means: all methods of selecting records and arranging / fixing of outputs headers, data and summaries must be easily explained [3] to non z techies... :-D [3] - I wish I can delegate those explaining to someone else. :-D ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
