<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>OK, folks:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's been a long week, but I came across this construct in a relatively mature (13+ years of age) Quick screen:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV><FONT face=r_ansi size=2><FONT face=r_ansi size=2>
<DIV>Item LAST_THERAPY_SEQ_NBR of PARTICIPANTS</DIV>
<DIV></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Note there is no value or variable assigned, just the "ITEM" and that is that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Curious. I think I know the answer, but can anybody splain what the system will assign?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>More of a qquestion is why anybody would write code like this.... Nother story.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
