FFS. Why didn't I do that in the first place?

I know a lot of people that couldn't even spell nUnit that call themselves coders. Go easy on yourself, I think you are better than you let on.

Ah, but that is the way to much cheapness, to perform the necessary.

Me too. I haven't done any in a while but having to write a number of programs to copy over 120TB of data in different formats (ADRDSSU, IDCAMS, IEBGENER, DB2, IMS, CICS, etc) from one VTS to another and each time I think I've got it going well another problem occurs which means a rethink. This is probably why most companies buy a 3rd party product to do this type of thing. Still the contract has been extended another 60 days and will probably be extended again.
