Duc, What's wrong using the iccdrvr.tsk to get the information? Martijn Daamen Egemin B.V. Stephensonweg 6 4207 HB GORINCHEM LET OP ! per 19-2-2003 tel. dir. +31-183-643359 tel. alg. +31-183-626633 fax.alg. +31-183-627119 E-mail. martijn.daamen@xxxxxxxxx web. www.egemin.nl >>> duc.do@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3-3-03 18:39:38 >>> William, Yes, the HWTYPE does show the FBM type for all FBMs connected to the CP, and it's independent of SysDef, so it meets my requirements. However, this parameter is buried within the work file and I cannot get to it with a simple 'strings .wf'. Looks like a C program is needed. I then checked out Alex's cpUtils collection, of which dumpWF seems to suit my needs. But even then it's not as streamlined as I wish, since, if one were to use dumpWF, one has to run mkBlkIndex beforehand to get a list of block types out of the work file. However, mkBlkIndex seems to have a fatal flaw: it dumps core when run on a work file with 200-series FBMs. So the quest goes on....

Duc, Does the HWTYPE parameter of the ECB block help? It seems to deal with each FBM type differently, though it does leave things cloudy with migration modules. William C. Ricker FeedForward, Inc.
