Hopefully this will make it to the net....
While this may be a usefull feature, the work around would be to create
a local
variable, initialize it to 0, open a cursor and fetch rows until you
reach either
the limit, or you are out of data.
Now if only Sybase worked on a serious issue which is extremely
important:
row level locking .... ;-)
