hi there, we take the sequence-size as seq_size for a dtml-in statement from a formular with 'get' (as shown in DTML.html under batch processing) (<dtml-in rep.sql size=seq_size start=query_start>) if the seq_size is 2 and larger there is no trouble, if it is 1 (&seq_size=1&query_start=2) 'next-sequence' does not exist in the second batch. therfore it doesn't show a next-batch-link in the second batch. seems to be a problem with the orphan handling thanks olaf -- soli-con Engineering Zanger Dipl.-Ing.
