Does anyone know of any limitations on the complexity of 
functions that you use in an Update statement, where
you pass one of the columns of the table
you're updating as a parameter?

For instance, given:

function SomeObjectFunction (o as object) as object
'
' this does some stuff
' How complicated can I make it?
'
end function


sub DoSomething
update some_tab set obj = SomeObjectFunction (obj)
end sub

How complicated can SomeObjectFunction() be
without causing run-time errors?   

I have a fairly complicated function that
I'd like to do this for.   When I get to the point
that I can test it, I'll let you know what happens.

I suppose what I'm mostly afraid of is that MapInfo 
will "time-out" within the Update statement
if the function takes too long to execute.

In the meantime, it'd be nice to know if anyone has
run into errors trying to do this.

Thanks in advance
Spencer
