Ah. In that case, it's only mostly as bad as you suggest: a "masking operation" usually means one column in one row. So if you mask (say) firstname, lastname, address, city, ZIP, ssn, creditcardnumber, that's seven operations in one row. Still sounds like some serious iron. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
