Hi,
Thanks for your response.
>>Since an empty row doesn't signal the end, something else does.

Can you tell me how to signal the end, as we are unable to retrieve the data
even using getbulk
It stops at the empty row.
Thanks
Meena
Apart from missing items after an empty row, retrieving data this way is
very
inefficient. Find out what data is there, and ask for it in chunks, naming
each
variable instance explicitly, multiple items per query to improve
efficiency.
At a certain point, you'll exceed the packet length or burden the managed
device, but an optimum number of variables to retrieve at once should be in
excess of 10, thereby reducing traffic load by that factor.
