Yup, thanks. I realised that I was talking via the wrong orifice, when I updated the manual, I reworded it to be less "wrong" than what I posted here. I must remember to engage brain before typing. > ... >> Subject to the same caveat, once a database has been created with > USE_ALL_SPACE, new records will be stored on pages without leaving > extra room. Ah! Now that's interesting. I need to update the manual again. This implies that when this switch is used, some flag is set somewhere to tell the system to leave no space? I assume that this is "hdr_no_reserve" in the first page of the database. Thanks for that, I'll do some more updating.
