And any program in order to do the job must be cognizant of the format, and where the fields begin and end in the records?

The problem is with the way Windows expects Hebrew to be stored. On z/OS, Hebrew is usually stored visually - the first letter in a word is on the right. On other platforms, including Windows, Hebrew is stored logically - the first letter is on the left, and programs reverse the data before it is displayed. This gets even more complicated when the data contains a mixture of Hebrew, English, digits. Special characters make it even more complicated. There are utilites to fix the data, but non are perfect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
