Unfortunately, that is not how it works. For example to quote from the API Guide, table 12.8 "Services API limbo transaction arguments": isc_spb_tra_id, Precedes a transaction ID number, 4 bytes, Unsigned long The value is defined as 4 bytes, it doesn't have a length prefix. I am not entirely sure, but I believe there is a similar restriction elsewhere. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
