I got curious about how many possible different values could exist in a dataset "node". A node can be 1 to 8 characters long. The first character must be A-Z @#$ or 29 characters. Subsequent characters are those 29 plus digits 0-9 and a dash (the dash was a surprise to me). Unless I goofed up, that means that a single node can have a bit over 4.8 trillion unique values.
Did I do something wrong? This seems way too large a number. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
