John,

Is the LASTEXDT being packed earlier in the assembler routine? If so, then why pack and unpack.  You could handle a source date in rexx with little issue.

What is being done to the field that feeds LASTEXDT?  If it is already packed in the data you are sifting, then no issue, if it is source, then I would not pack it and unpack it.

The Packed data is in a file used by other programs, so I need to leave it in Packed when I am done.
