    On second look - the string concatenation technique used to piece the bits back together is undocumented, and might cause unexpected results. Not good for production code.

    Heh... even using something that is documented is no guarantee that it won't change or get deprecated and go away.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
