RE: FEOD followed by Setll

["Saunders, Martin P" <martin.saunders@xxxxxxxx>]

OK, it wasn't me writing this program, so I had a closer look at it myself
and (in a momentary lapse) my colleague had neglected to put a 'K' in the
F-spec.

'Pleased but disappointed' was how he described his feelings when I pointed
this out to him.

Thanks anyway


Martin

Try *start instead of *hival
