I would have gone with [critical missing ok] as the VARTYPE as well.

What result did you expect, and what result did you get? Was blocking on name still successful?

Thanks ray for your reply...

i found the problem. i added the registration filed in blocking and i added in critical missing ok.

now took out the registration field from blocking and i got the expected output..

Ah, you didn't mention that you'd also specified it as a blocking field.
