I once recall giving an explanation and sample of the code to work from to get the solution, only to have the OP in question post back saying that it didn't work because my code had the incorrect field positions in it
My apologies for posting untested code.
And yes gcicchet you are right that SAS will return value 0 even if RC=16 with return is used within the SAS.
Thanks for correcting me.
