Quick (As in QDESIGN) Question:

[Peter Bateman]

Hi All:
   I have found the PH 7.10 picks up the dictionary initial value but not the PH default    i.e.  if I wanted blanks placed in the value list of an insert then I needed an item statement   but if there were a dictionary initial value clause it show up in the database.
Regards,Peter
