Hi Luis,

Thanks a lot for your reply. We added one extra new field to the list of fields copied to array and this seemed to cure the problem we were having. I put this change in

TRY
  new code with one extra field
catch
  old code with the previous number of fields
endtry

so I hope the code would not break for the original structures.

Thanks again.
