Page 2-38/39 and page 7-296 Informix 4gl Reference Manual: 4. If the [CURRENT]function is executed more than once in a statemnt, identical values may be returned at each point of the call. You cannot rely on CURRENT to provide distinct values each time that it executes in the same statement. 5.

You should not use the function to mark the start, then end, or any specific point in the execution of the 4GL statement. || ======= **** **T* ======= ||John Regep || **** **** ||Store Systems Developement || **** *R** ||Kmart Corporation || =========== ********* =========== ||3100 West Big Beaver || ***A* **** ||Troy, MI 48084 || **** **** ||(810) 643-5078 ||=============== *M** **** ===============||uunet!kmart!jregep
