Ahh yes. I just fired up RScope76 and fixed it in about 15 seconds or so.
I gotta confess I hadn't even thought of using RScope because I think I
haven't had a need to use it for more than 10 years.. What does that say?
Must be like keeping the snowblower parked by the garage driveway and it not
snowing all winter.

So if the Null is the EOL, me thinks you're hosed unless you send
the db to RBTI and they can unscramble the db setting.
or ... simply obtain yourself a copy of R:Scope 7.6, as advised in
my very first reply, and move on with the production.
It has been a good topic to discuss with various suggestions.
Very Best R:egards,
