Its called buffering or padding a row. And its not to the size of a page. You just make it large enough so that another row can be placed on that page. Its the usual answer to users who think they need RLL in a PLL environment. I don't think this is what Sybase says. Its more than likely what others would say in the Sybase newsgroup. There are better solutions. -am
