Thank you Darrel, Steve and Skimask,

No more errors.
One more clarification on the line:
@ MOVE?CN 1000000, _big_number
Does it make my big_number=1000000 in decimal?
If that is true should I see the counter going down from 1000000 to 0?
Am I processing the big_number right in my HSEROUT statement because when I run the program it starts counting down from 1516960.
How do I insert a new big_number

I will be away from the computer for the next 2 hours.
Thanks in advance for all the help.

Nick
