Characterization field returns empty when Index Server Catalog is queried

Hello all,

I am using IIS5 Win2k Server, sp2.  I have created a catalog and am querying
successfully from an asp page except for the characterization field.  This
field does not get populated.  I've attached my asp code below.  Any help
would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
