invalid data? If your checking statement said you had $3,127.47 but next to it in parentheses it said "(but this amount is invalid)", would you go out and try to spend the money? No, I think you'd be kinda cautious so you didn't get arrested for fraud. I wonder how businesses can make decisions on the same invalid data. >> We had a competitor who had a customer withdraw his mistakenly debited $3M. His claim was that he had prayed for riches and his prayers were answered. The glee was that the competitor had to explain under oath that it was human error totally and that their recon system needed a little work. No jail time for the fervent, but the competitor got scheduled visits from the Fed. Guess another consideration is that the stats have been bogus for so long many, many application delete and redefine nightly adding cycles to an already tight window. No way for 24/7. Runs customers off in droves. Can you say tanked revenue? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
