Active stages "do" stuff -> change data, add columns, filter rows, summarize rows, etc. Passive stages read/write data -> files, datasets, tables.

Only this one time, actually for less than 14 cents a day you can become a premium member and get access to the ocean of knowledge. Highly advisable.

Kindly refrain from doing what you just did. If you're going to give out that stuff, just do it in a private message.

Next thing we know you'll be downloading our streaming video and emailing them to your cohorts....

Honor system folks!

It is free, how much did you pay to just get that answer? You only pay for answers from me or the other Premium Posters, all 6 of us. There's nothing to prevent any other Charter/Premium Member from paraphrasing one of our answers or supplying one of theirs.

I will tell you, every question is answered, some quicker than others.

I apologize for my act. This shall not happen again.

Notice I did answer the posters question and didn't mark it as premium? There's a "free" answer.

DSguru2B · Post by **DSguru2B** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 2:22 pm

I had not seen your answer during the time i was replying. I missed it.

14 minutes from first posted to a Premium Poster answer. There should be no complaints.
