Please is ther someone who can help me?
Last time I tried this, the key was to use the generic PPD as you have done,
trap for an error, and if it was error 128, ignore it. Then you could set
the correct PPD in a separate statement, wrapped in a try to ignore all
errors. Believe it or not, it actually seemed to work that way.
