	Its called buffering or padding a row. And its not to the size
	of a page. You just make it large enough so that another row
	can be placed on that page. Its the usual answer to users who
	think they need RLL in a PLL environment. I don't think this
	is what Sybase says. Its more than likely what others would say
	in the Sybase newsgroup. There are better solutions.
