J. Clarke,

You won't find this type of problem a challenge once you familiarize yourself with SAS/AF and SAS/Frame. SAS programmers around the world do this type of thing thousands upon thousand of times a day.

I suggest you begin by reviewing the BUILD procedure. If you can get ahold of a Usage/Reference manual the examples will get you on your way. It's been 5 years since I worked with Frame and AF so there is bound to be others out there with better advice than mine. But, it can be done easily.

Good Luck,

John -------
