Hello, If a pvar is a continuos counter (though I think this case is strange), once a handle for it is allocated, what is its value if we read it immediately? Should it be 1) zero or 2) the current value (state) of this variable? I guess for continuos pvars, all sessions should read the same value if read at the same time. So I think 2) is more reasonable. But the Standard says "the starting value for variables of this class is 0". Any comments? Thanks. -- Junchao Zhang
