I know this is ugly, but ... A report I used to run needed its "where" clause modified on the fly to select a list of values generated by another report. My solution was to create a dummy .ace with a fixed value for the select values. I used "sed" to replicate the .ace file, replacing the fixed value with the current list of values (stored in a $variable). Then saceprep and sacego ran the replicated .ace file. A similar idea could be used with the "report to" clause of your report. PLMON: sed "s/1111/$LOGS/" RPTS/logs.ace > tmplogs.ace PLMON: if saceprep -s tmplogs PLMON: if sacego -s tmplogs I hope someone has a more elegant solution for you. :-) miked
