Subject:      Re: help using library catalog

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, so my formats are being created in formats category.  If I look inside
this category "folder", all of my formats are present as formatc type (yes,
even ORPROC).

So I guess that my problem is that my program is not finding these formats.

Do I need to do anything in addition to the below line to have my program
read the formats that I have created?

libname library "Z:\PSI"

Thanks for all your help!

Trish
