>> What happens if two key values differ only in case of characters, e.g. >> "Wombat" vs. "WOMBAT"?
Paul, Since we are sorting on the key, the lower case "wombat" gets to the top. >> If key values are longer than 8 characters, can it generate member names? NO. PDS member names cannot be greater than 8 characters. Since OP hasn't mentioned as to what the member names would be , he needs to explain how to name the members. If I was the one doing it, then I would name the members in 7 digit Sequential order (M0000001, M0000002...) and then have an Index member (#readme) which will have the member name and the key of the data it has M0000001 - Key is "wombat" M0000002 - Key is "ABCDEF" … With this approach they can look at 1 member(#readme) and find the key that they are interested and just look up that member.
