I'm not really. I just want to be able to produce reports from the Audit Trail files that I've set up on a couple of tables to tell me who's doing what and when. I've got a few snatches from the C-ISAM manual and one entry makes reference to the 2 data types I mentioned. Incedently, if anyone out there has a utility for this already I really don't what to re-invent the wheel... -------------------------------------------------------------- | Who cares whos opinions these are?! | | Send me mail and I'll love you forever (Maybe) | |------------------------------------------------------------| | Stuart Hemming | shemminga@cix.compulink.co.uk | | Tudor Labels Ltd | uunet!cix.compulink.co.uk!shemminga | | Roman Bank Bourne | Tel : (+44) 778 426444 | | Lincs PE10 9LQ.
