No. I said we cannot do that. That code is not accessible for change right now. Period. I understand what you're saying, but let it go. You really have a hard time when someone says no. I'm not sure if it's a matter of you not listening or just that you can't accept what they say. You don't need all the details, but once someone says they are unable to do something a certain way, try to answer what they asked, not what you think they need.

I have worked around it using the AGAIN clause and a different alias name.
