    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.

    We completed the upgrade of the firmware. I will contact EMC but I was still wondering what happened and if anyone else had seen this before?
