Re: Is this the University of Midrange.com? (was Re: Comp in DDS)

I am completely entitled to ask whatever I want to on this mailing list as it 
pertains to the RPG language. Garmous, I will continue to ask. Some, not all, 
of my pedestrian questions have stumped people, not that this is the point.So 
you are wrong there.
If you try to do COMP GT 'A' in DDS and then try to enter a blank you will get 
the message that the 'Value must be greater than A'. My difficulty was to have 
one or 2 statements handle this in DDS. I know that I can program it.
Enough time wasted Garmous.
