The initiator cannot adjust the "-n" relatives to absolute generations, because there might be holes in the sequence (or generation datasets that were never rolled-in). You have to refer to the catalog; the CSI presents associations in logical sequence -- even when the generation number rolls past 9999. (Smart stuff, Mark.) Just guessing here, but "+n" relatives ~are~ likely converted to absolute goovoos, offset appropriately from the GDGNT base generation. The initiator must have to do this without referring to the catalog because new generations might not be rolled-in yet. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
