Re: ancient 36 ocl help needed

in a twisted sort of way that makes sense (did you write this code?<grin>)

what you are saying is ?20? is the value in parm 20
and ??20?? will have the value of the parm that is equal to value in parm 20
if ?20? = 4 then ??20?? is the value in ?4?
oh - the power & flexibility of ocl!

btw - this runs every nite processing reports for 30 locations, & i got the
assignment
to make a change.

THANKS
