Razzak/Karen/Tony/Javier:
Clearly, mission accomplished, plus protection against failure-to-import, which I had NOT considered. You guys are great.

Chitiea Sent: Monday, July 01, 2013 1:07 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: SELECT <First Row> Karen/Tony: Thanks much. That'll do just fine. I'm really just looking for the first physical row, whatever it is. I admit to making a questionable assumption that the string I'm looking forward is in that row; an assumption rendered less foolish by the "reliable" automated routine which created the Excel data being Gateway'd into this table. If the string ISN'T there, I've got OTher problems.

This works: DECLARE c1 SCROLL CURSOR FOR + SELECT humpty FROM wall OPEN c1 FETCH FIRST FROM c1 INTO vhumpty IND vind1 <Process> DROP CURSOR c1 Is there any direct means of SELECTing the FIRST row from table without having to resort to a cursor?
