However, null subscripts are generally frowned upon in M applications, and I believe that VistA standards prohibit their use. Note that GT.M also has an option to collate null subscripts per the M standard (before all subscripts) or a historical GT.M way (between numeric and string subscripts). The default is to collate them the historical GT.M way (in order to not break existing applications), but it is trivial to specify the M standard way a database is created (details in the technical bulletin at http://www.sanchez-gtm.com/user_documentation/targets/GTM_Null_Subscripts.html). If null subscripts are prohibited by an application, the collation of null subscripts is of course irrelevant. -- Bhaskar ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
