- Good idea, and I had been told that before, but on our system that gives
- a syntax error. It doesnt like the hex word. We are running ISQL
- 2.10.03G on a Unisys 5000. Is that a "bug?". Yes, we are on our way to
- On-Line, but not until our application programmers get the application
- ready to go. The Unisys platform has only progressed to 4.1 that I am
- aware of, there is no 5.0 or 6.0 like all you Sun etc. types are longing
- for or even using. Yes, it is an "antique" platform, but we do the best
- we can with your tax dollars, and right now that doesnt include new
- hardware. Is there any further assistance on the problem of hex(partnum)
- or how to tell what extents are being used? Thank you for your responses.
