remove empty lines in DG

[JJS]

Thanks Bob, will come in handy when needed.

I use PHP as middleware, as others have to use it too and need access to 
the DB. If i would use RevDB then they would not be granted access. And 
the webspace provider is not allowing LC server on it's shared hosting.

So the data is coming in as delimited data, encrypted that is.

For now this works, as at the moment i can't figure out which lines in 
the DB are causing this as these lines do not seem to have an id, and i 
do not see an id with empty data in the db:

*repeat*foreachlinetLine invarResults

*if* item1oftLine isempty*then*

*delete*linetLine ofvarResults

*next* *repeat*

*end* *if*

So for me it is still a bit strange where its coming from.
