Hi,

Thanks Anuj. I tried to check using PF1 but the online help was not to the point and got confused...

Thanks Robert.

I just tried these combinations and system allows them to be created - however, I was expecting that "Empty and Scratch" should not be allowed, I'm bit confused. Can someone please help?

Thanks Anuj.

Thanks Robert and Anuj.
