Re: Net.data START_ROW_NUM with SELECT WHERE clause

Hi Zak,

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work. My understanding was
that RPT_MAX_ROWS and START_ROW_NUM are globally defined by Net.Data, so I'm
a little puzzled as to why I have to define them.

The other odd thing is that I'm passing START_ROW_NUM in as a parm from the
URL (e.g.
http://xyz.com/cgi-bin/netdatamacros.dtw/macro1?ACCT=&NAME=test&START_ROW_NU
M=21), so it's defined there, just as ACCT and NAME are.  And parms passed
this way are global, at least I've been able to use ACCT and NAME in all
macros without having them defined globally.

I put in some HTML to show the values of START_ROW_NUM and RPT_ROW_MAX at
the beginning of the macro1 HTML section and they both are empty strings, in
spite of the URL.  I think the problem is the limit on the size of a URL vs
data submitted via form, but I can't remember the limit.
