[DMDX] <sd> and L Having figured out the sscanf() issue I can get back to handling some of  the problems that have occurred over the last few weeks and prime amongst  them was a set of chained item files that weren't saving the data at the  end of the earlier item files as they chained to the later ones.  Turns out  the problem stems from using  in the last item with the chain keyword,  the code winds up having to terminate the job as if it was a syntax check  as the normal job termination stuff is handled from the display queue --  but a skip display item builds nothing on the display queue.  I'm impressed  it worked as well as it did.
