If you are going to delete make sure you reorg the file every now and
then. What I would do is something like this pseudo code:

Read from file into subfile.
Read entire subfile into and array.
Sort Array by new seq#.
Read file by seq#.
If file exists update from array (seq 10 = 1st array, seq 20 = second
array, etc regardless of new seq# in array)
If you have extra array records write them out as new file records.
If you have extra file records, delete them.

The reason I do not just update is that after the user enters all
their
data, when writting back to the file, I need to sequence the data in
increments of 10 so that they can move things around without having to
change all records.

Thanks,

Jeff,

Why do you delete all the records of the group? Why don't you just
update?

What I do in situations like is to store the original sequence # as a
hidden field in the subfile. With the original and new sequence # you
can determine what to do:
- original = 0 and new > 0: add
- original > 0 and new = 0: delete
- original <> new: update

The tricky bit is checking for duplicates. You need to check each
new/changed sequence # with the file and also check for duplicates
within the subfile.

Let me clarify what I am attempting to do.
I have a file with the key: Company, Location, Item, Seq#,
Substitute
Item.
The file has additional fields.
The user sees all substitute items for the Company, Location, Item
and
can change the Sequence # and other data shown.
Since the user can change the sequence #, I need to process all
records
for the group.
When I do the update/add, I need to resequence the data on file
based on
the seq# the user keyed.

This is similar to what is done in SEU when you insert or delete
lines.

What I am doing now is storing the screen seq# & substitute item in
an
array, sorting the array and then deleting all records for the group.
When I output the records from the subfile, I assign a sequence #
based
on the location of the seq#/item in the array.

I was hoping for a less messy method to get the same result.

Thanks,
