dgText vs. dgData

[Pete]

Yes, very odd.  I get the same number of columns and the same data listed
for dgtext and dgdata including all the hidden columns.  Are the columns
that don't turn up for you in dgtext hidden or have some different
characteristic from those that do?

 I'm on LC 5.0.2 on a Mac.
