Hi Guys,

Well....fwiw...I consider this correct.

If I have multiple variable dataset that I'm creating I want them to stay in
synch even if one of them is blank.

i.e.

ITEM.SHIPPED<1,-1>  = REC<1>
QTY.SHIPPED<1,-1>   = REC<2>
HANDLING.CODE<1,-1> = REC<3>

Lets say that there was no special handling code on the third iteration.
Now my forth iteration DOES have a special handling code, but now it would
appear as if it belonged to the third, not the forth item.

I would have to
ITEM.SHIPPED<1,-1>  = REC<1>
QTY.SHIPPED<1,-1>   = REC<2>
IF REC<3> = "" THEN
  HANDLING.CODE<1,-1> := REC<3>
END ELSE
  HANDLING.CODE<1,-1> = REC<3>
END

Which adds a lot of bulk to the code, especially if I have a lot of
variables to build.

Oh Well, you know that they say..."One man's bug is another man's feature!"

(Or woman!)

Just quickly... IIRC, somebody mentioned a UV OPTION to give you either
which way... Last week or so..... Sorry, but check the archives....

And some people say various LOCATEs are a problem.... but I find this
inserting a null to be a bigger bugger....
