Yes, you can *if* you know you need to do that :-)
I refuse to say how many hours I spent debugging to get to the point
where I knew this was the problem. You suspect the likely things first
(i.e. that I had made an error somewhere) and the unlikely things last
(i.e. that a straightforward conditional test that is accepted and
should work would fail).
And there is no reason why it needs to fail, and intuitively it ought to
work - so it's a reasonable request to make. I'll enter it into QCC some
day soon ....
Thanks
