+;              changes the way that func_odbc normally works.  Instead of the
+;              invocation of the function returning a row, it returns an opaque
+;              ID, which may be passed to ODBC_FETCH() to return each row in
+;              turn.  ODBC_FETCH_STATUS returns SUCCESS or FAILURE, to indicate

+;              on the ID to clean up any remaining results when you are done
+;              with the query.  Also, the variable ODBCROWS is set initially,

+;              and rows may not be fetched outside of the channel where the
+;              query was initially performed.  Additionally, as the results are
+;              associated with a channel, mode=multirow is incompatible with
+;              the global space.
+; rowlimit     An additional option for within mode=multirow, rowlimit limits
+;              the total number of rows which can be stored for that query.
+;              Otherwise, func_odbc will attempt to store all rows in the
+;              resultset, up to the maximum amount of memory.
