Glenn,

I am sorry if I had asked to mean to write a script. But I created the script with the statements. What I need to know is I need to pass the name of the file as a parameter to the script and then do the processing we had before. How can this be possible.

The name of the files will look like BARE01_DLY_MKT_yyyymmdd for 20 markets. This script need to work for files named BARE02_DLY_MKT_20060803
which will be 20 again. So I need to generalise the script and pass the name of the file as parameter. So how can acheive this. Please let me know. I am trying to learn and develop at the same time.

Once again I appreicate your knid response.
