David, I enjoy the multiple responses on the list. Often there is more than one way to skin a cat and that is reflected in the number of answers. Even if not, it is good to know that people are listening and prepared to respond. I would not like to see any changes that discourgage people from

I will test this once I can get a chance. My main concern was that the MATing would delay the job, but if it eliminates all the undefined...which no one see's since it's a phantom process and the PH file gets cleared daily. Possibly all the writing of the undefined... to the PH also would delay
