Wy not just have the ENTIRE page footing in the USE file?  After all, what
your code snippet refers to seems to be a standard page footer anyways, so
just standardize the entire thing.  
 
OR, I haven't tried this exact thing, but we have done similar things where
we used a text editor or perhaps Streamx to take a Powerhouse "shell"
program and modify the text and then send that modified program through Quiz
(or Qtp).
 
We used it mainly for building very flexible Choose / Select combinations,
but I don't see why the technique couldn't be adapted.
 
I believe the first option would be by far the better option.

On HP3000 mpe/ix  PH Quiz vers 8 .
It would be very convenient if I could get this to work:
 
QUIZ
 
Access xxx
.
.
PAGE FOOTING &
 TAB 10 &
USE STD1.USE 
 
(In this case the "&" causes Quiz not to like the "USE".)
 
PAGE FOOTING &
 TAB 10
USE STD1.USE
 
(In this case the absense of the "&" causes Quiz to see the USE file but it
doesn't list the fields in the Footing.)
 
Isn't there some way of inserting the USE file ?  Like with a special
character or something?
Thank you in advance for your help.
