Sorry for the OT, but that response somehow made me think of this: An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train in Scotland. The astronomer looks out of the window, sees a black sheep standing in a field, and remarks, "How odd. All the sheep in Scotland are black!" "No, no, no!" says the physicist. "Only some Scottish sheep are black." The mathematician rolls his eyes at his companions' muddled thinking and says, "In Scotland, there is at least one field containing at least one sheep, at least one side of which appears to be black from this perspective... some of the time."

This does not show that the member is empty. It shows that it has one record containing 32 spaces. I assume that there are actually 80 bytes and you truncated the display in what you posted. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN This communication may contain privileged and/or confidential information.
