Thanks Kevin!

That was it.  It took me a while to get it to work.  It seems that if a 
value is a 1 you need to separate the value and the delimiter with a 
space. ie: $CGI->{mv_numeric} = "1\0 1";  But once I did that, all was well.

I'm wondering... Is the \0 a PERL thing or an Interchange thing?  I 
searched my perl documentation for anything relating to \0 as a 
delimiter but found nothing so I am assuming it is unique to interchange?

Thanks for the help Kevin, it is much appreciated.
