Hi,
Thanks for your time in responding to the topic.
I think I will have to take the long way around of writing the PROC GMAP
output to a external file and transfer it across to PC.

Attachmate was installed on previous employer, but the current employer has
TN3270plus. So unable to use attachmate now.

Thanks,
Vasanth.S
