That's what happens if you bluff yourself into a job where you very obviously know nothing of the language.

Go get a PL/I manual and read it, better buy a second hand copy of Joan K. Hughes "PL/I Programming", Right now you don't know enough to ask the questons.

Since you do not purport to include PL/I among your skills, surime72. I shan't be as harsh on you as Mr. Prins was. Nonetheless, your requirement is incomprehensible and your pseudo-code (I hope that that's not intended to be actual PL/I!) is execrable. Think things through, present your needs in as literate in English as is possible for you, and write some code that does not look like a backward child's first attempt.

Hello,

Suggest you indent when you write code - this makes it much easier to read.
