I dunno...getting so caught in a single approach that you don't consider a
better way? ;-)  The proverbial "can't see the forest for the trees"...

Thanks for the great code.  Now...

I get this error when I run these lines:

ERROR: Physical file does not exist, C:\Documents and Settings\sbass\dummy.

I'm pondering the best approach to fix this.  The code needs to run on both
Windows and Unix.  I'm thinking just start a second data step???

Getting close :-)
