Thanks very much Fred, You've provided exactly what I was after. I note the short names have a period after them BEFORE the Tilde for BOTH Day and Month short names It doesn't throw the methods at all, as you can see (from the method I gave for formatting EU output), I'm using the Tilde as the 'end-of-the-literal' for STRINGing.

That's correct, in Dutch abbreviations like jan. or ma. ends usually with a period while acronyms don't. > It doesn't throw the methods at all, as you can see (from the > method I gave for formatting EU output), I'm using the Tilde as the > 'end-of-the-literal' for STRINGing. That's exactly what I understood. When I wrote many COBOL programs most of the time I used a double space as delimiter so a single space could be incorporated in text to be selected (no tilde on the terminal's keyboard). :-) -- Fred Mobach - fred(a)mobach.nl website : https://fred.mobach.nl ....
