       Hi,

          I'm reading in a text file, (a report)  and need to perform
       certain edit checks on it and
          I have a few questions:

         1.) Is there a SAS function that can capitalize the first
       letter of a word starting a sentence?

         2.) I used the SAS function COMPBL to correct spacing errors
       in the report. The only problem
               is that COMPBL leaves spaces between punctuation (i.e.
       periods and commas).  Is there
               an easy way to fix this?


           Thanks in Advance,

           Nick
