<QUOTE>Alex,



I *believe* the form logic automatically parses the "*" and there is no way to override the default behavior unless you override the event stream ..

It appears to be a limitation of MergeRows().  I've looked at it some and may be able to give you a work-around or ....

<QUOTE>Alex,



[i]Although I have the two key fields pointing to 0*0 and 0*2, oddly enough, they show up as 0*1 and 0*2 in OIWIN_COMM_EQUATES' RMap@ variable.[/i]



That is the first issue you have to deal with.  Place the following in your CREATE event:




<code>

<code>
$insert OIWin_Equates

WinID=@window
$insert OIWin_Comm_Init

Pos=KeyMap@
if Pos ] 0 then
  ControlSemantics@=0
end

i=1
loop
  Pos=RowMaps@
  if Pos=0 then
    RowMaps@=0
  end
while Pos
  i += 1
repeat

return 1
</code>

</code>




Here is the hex dump for MergeRows() ...  you will have to replace SYSOBJ/$MERGEROWS with the following:

<QUOTE>Wow!  That's more than I ever expected.  Thanks, Cameron!



I already had the modifications to KeyMap@, ControlSemantics@ and RowMaps@... But obviously it wasn't working. :)



I suppose I'll need to de-hexify that before I write it to SYSOBJ, eh?



And... Will that change be overwritten when I upgrade to 3.6 or future releases?



Thanks again,

Assuming you find no side-effects, I will put it into the next release.
