Hi Tom,
No, what I really meant (and clumsily attempted here) is: either return
the list of locations that have been already used for the same
'show_type' as the current show) OR just return the newly created
location 172.
I just backtracked and expressed the equivalent in perl, so no problem
here.
Thanks,
