Paul,

Could you please clarify?  You make it sound as if the RPG program will delete
all the existing records in a file if you code the F specs a certain way.  If
that is the case, I would like to know how, especially so I can avoid it.

I'm with you on the RPG cycle.  If the level break indicators were just invented
today everyone would be hailing them as the solution to all our problems.
