string needed to contain the entire list the most obvious would be a -52
status returned by DBGET, since the list would probably contain what IMAGE
would consider to be an invalid data item name.

If you mean that the length of all the items in the LIST presented to DBGET
is longer than the BUFFER allocated to hold them, you'd have a classic case
of buffer overrun, and anything up to and including a program abort is
probable. [...]39_3Apr200217:02:[log in to unmask]

It's not so much that they ARE another Enron as much as it is that Carly and company look to Enron as a business model.
If they get thier way, and get rid of those who care about the company, the shareholders and the customers, then they will make it another Enron.
