I guess I was imagining a remote file system where you are asking it '*' verses 'SoMeThInGsPiFiC'. Doing such has the potential of generating much network traffic. I know, 'tis the only way to solve the problem, and doing so in RexxUtil will perform better than interpreted code. I recall having collected the FileTree of a "remote" FTP server (over a LAN connection) with somewhere around 2M graphic files... I think it generated aprox 250 MB of "dir" traffic when store to disk. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ |
