Hi There. I am running a unix script that ftp's into an as/400 i-series server and downloads files into a unix filesystem. These files are all suffixed with .DZ12504 which I think is the file definition format. The files look something like this: total 612 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 20249 Nov 9 11:16 PBS1109A.DZ12504 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 279476 Nov 9 11:16 PBT1109A.DZ12504 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 12697 Nov 9 11:16 PBU1109A.DZ12504 I would like to find out how I can globally change the .DZ12504 suffix to .txt. Bear in mind that there could be up to 11 files at a time. Once the files have been changed to reflect the .txt suffix SAP will then read these files and update the SAP database with this info. I have looked at sed , cat and mv but don't what the best is. Could you please assist. Warm regards

Hi, You have posted in the Office Software forum which is for issues with programs such as Excel and Word. I suggest you post in the Unix or Programming forum. Regards

Will do....
