transformation question

[Jason Stover]

Here is the scenario:

A transformation is being executed to write data to
the active file. There are other transformations pending,
each of which has a variable in the dictionary, but none
of those other transformations have executed yet. So before
I do this:

              obs = case_data (c, i);  

I want to make sure variable i has something in it.
Should I look at variable i's 'init' (v->init)? Or something
else?
