Re: Calculating the number of records parameter for batch extract

Hello Carsten,

Thanks for catching the error.  I have no idea why I wrote 64KB -- I have made 
previous appends on the subject of blocking and got the RISC value right.

Damn! I hate it when that happens ... senility is setting in ... do I live 
here? What 
day is it?  What year is it?

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
