Trigger programs. Write trigger programs to prevent widows and orphans. Do it once and forget it. Don't rely on your programmers getting it right every time.
As for the delete loop, wouldn't this be fairly simple:
>c ORDER chain (e) BLPART
>
>c Dow %found(BLPART)
>c Delete BLPART
>c ORDER chain (e) BLPART
>c enddo

Rick,
I think you will not delete any record the way you do it. You will get an NF or EOF condition and the file pointer will be moved to EOF and remains there
So I use SETLL to reset the file pointer (just to be sure it is in the right position) and then start deleting the records (by key).
Regards,
Carel Teijgeler.
