  Rick, 1. Can you read variable length records with packed (COMP) fields?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> 2. Can we XML Serialize the Data Division entries -- in C#, we just add [Serializable] attribute -- does COBOL has another way of doing that?

    Fakher, Answers: #1: Yes. #2: Checking. I know we can read and write XML data. I am not sure how to reply to your 'serializable' question though. I'll post a reply as soon as I can.

  > Do you know it is the only computer language that has evolved through multiple standards? This is painfully incorrect. > Does C, C++ or Java have a standard that compiler vendors have to adhere to? Yes.

    Gay, You are correct and I stand corrected. Please accept my apologies for the oversight.
