Excellent, The thing I was missing was the fact that you can put variables in the UDV. Apart from adding complexity to my Sampler, I think this is a good solution.
I'll do this, Thanks a lot for your help, Paul. 2009/3/23 Ian Blavins <[email protected]> > G'day > > I had the same problem. > > I define a user defined variable to hold the thread count.
