HI Paul,

following up a message from Richard Webb to Paul Quinn:

Yup, we figured out how it chokes.  Returns errorlevel 255,
which means syntax fubar.  So, if a bonehead types in a non
numeric command line parm ifnumber's going to give us some
argument about bad syntax.  Can use that.

Was working on another batch project, my vessels
reconciliation file we talked about in this echo, cleaning
up the reports it generates and was testing some code I
intended to use for it, and in so doing crash tested what I
wanted to crash test for this project as well.

THe other code was critical, as it runs in automation while
I"m in bed or absent, so it's important to get right the
first time .


Regards,
           Richard
