I have a mainframe file that has not been normalized. It contains data in a horizontal fashion instead of vertically. for example:

400*2*CREDIT VOUCHER*208*$42,190.89*477*$69,806.49*108*$17,490.11*231*$39,007.35

All of the above is really on one line. As you can see, there are asterix separating the data I need.I am trying to get the "stuff between each asterix. I have no way telling how many etries will be on one line. this example is a short line. The otehrs were too long to put in her. I tried using the ATC() etc. commands. They work but as I said I can't ever know how many entries will be on one line.

Any ideas out ther as to how i can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for your help! :-)
