I guess it's a universal truth.

That was my original thought, and I created a Left:Right solution too, before examining the examples where there appear to be no duplicate characters.

That strikes me as overkill. You can have as many connections to the same Data Set as you require. Ultimately (with either approach) you get N virtual Data Sets for N reference inputs.

Recompile.

Many things are inter-related in the repository. Even I would not attempt to effect a change merely by changes to repository tables, for fear that I might miss some vital piece of the puzzle.

One task, one stage.

The Filter stage filters.

Just because they don't exist does not prevent you from creating them. They are environment variables. Set them either through the Administrator client (per-project) or globally (through dsenv).

Well, it's now four hours later, so I guess you don't need it now, since it was "immediately needed". DSXchange is an all-volunteer site whose members post as and when (and if) they can, but at all times are under no obligation to do so. If you need immediate assistance sign up with your o...
