List Single call on a Basic List

I am in the process of converting my programs from using LegacyList to using List Single. I've run into an odd behavior with the only Basic List that I use. (Everything else is an Advanced List.)

Advanced Lists return pages of data with a max length of 1000 records. I increment the page argument to get more data until the list is exhausted.

My call to the Basic List returns all records in one call (7, 175 records in this case). Incrementing the page argument returns the same data a second time.

My question is: is this working as expected for Basic Lists, or is there a bug?

    That is an oddity, but it is intended to work that way. There is a technical difference between basic and advanced lists that prevented paging in the passthru from the Basic list results. Luckily, Basic lists generally have a manageable payload compared to Advanced lists.
