It happens that I needed to generate a diagnostic today for an SRU server that couldn't handle a query simply because the query was too darned long. The clearly correct diagnostic for this, from the list at: http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/diagnostics-list.html seems to be "12, Too many characters in query", but that is for some reason deprecated. Can anyone justify this deprecation? If not, can this diagnostic please be reinstated? _/|_ ___________________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <[log in to unmask]> http://www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ Growing up is the inevitable process of becoming firstly the people our parents warned us about, and then the people that the people our parents warned us about, warned us about.
