Joe, Tehe API was working fine. You just weren't passing the right info to your QtmhRdStin API. You need to pass the value of the CONTENT_LENGTH enviroment variable for the size of the data. These two go hand-in-hand. When you don't do this correctly, the results will be as you experienced. Losing the last field's data. Sure, making a dummy field is easier, but it's incorrect. Bradley V.
