Hi Bruce,
        You definitely hit the nail on the head--Raynald's book! I knew I've seen "OMS" before.  I'm going to check it out immediately.

Thank you!

OMS allows you to direct output that would ordinarily appear in the output viewer to a file of some sort (e.g., to a data file, or text file, etc).
IIRC, Raynald's book has a chapter on OMS.  Unfortunately, the links to download it on Ray's site no longer work, and you end up on that infernal IBM site.
