Please do not summarize. <<snip>> Well, the space provided wasn't (quite) adequate for me ;-)! We did have a _little_ problem with two programs (out of 500) that were calling one of our date functions with a numeric parameter of the wrong length (15,5 vs. 8,0). The fell over with a DDE on the RISC box, while functioning fine for _YEARS_ on CISC. A nit, but could have been a real problem had the source been lost... Regards!
