Variable header data:
Sweep interval: 20000
*END*
---------------

Given the above information, I have some questions:

- The transaction number 330500 is still active and keeping the sweep
from running?
- Since the interval is much bigger than 20000 and counting, what
happens to the automatic sweep? Is it triggered every time the Next
transaction is raised?
- Is there always at least one active transaction per connected user
or users can be connected without any active transactions?

Thanks
