Bill, It is OK to have records with various number of attributes.
If you wish to be consistent with the number of attributes for the records in your file, you might want to add null to the newly added fields.

Inside a UniBasic application, end-users are able to read and write data to these fields. Sometimes though, when listing results, some flaky data shows up. I am writing to inquire...is there now a requirement to "normalize" all records such that there are "blanks" specified in the newly defined fields...for all records ? In other words, is it not ok to have a mix of records...some with 71 fields...others with 75 fields? --Bill ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
