A hint to all list users. Remember that when running a command file under TRACE RBASE does not optimize WHILE loops. In regular run, unless you have set WHILEOPT off, RBASE tries to opimize the while loop. In the past depending on your coding this has caused STRANGE problems during a non-trace run.
