Me too, 'cause TEST.2 isnt empty I dont think. Unless blanks are not 'something' I always use EQS or NES functions for evaluation. Just make an array using the same delimiters, and say TEST.3 = @VM:@AM:' ':@VM:'zzz':@VM:@AM:'abc':@AM TEST.1 = @VM:@AM:@VM:@VM:@AM:@AM TEST.2 = @VM:@AM:' ':@VM:'

This is only a guess, as I have no first hand experience with that error. Is it possible that the item that was locked was re-read after being updated in storage and with no COMMIT? It ought to be fairly easy to test that as a possible means of replicating the problem. john On 12/23/05,
