RE: HELP... I accidentally deleted too many records!!

One of my biggest programming errors was forgetting to include a program
call in a CL.  It disabled the nightly store model stock calculation.  Six
months later one of the end users noticed that model stocks hadn't changed
in a while. (The numbers are usually between 2 and 5 for most items.) At
least I was able to fix it with one line of code.  I've been working on a
system that's been in place for over ten years pretty much unchanged and
have found all sorts of  surprises that weren't even known bugs.  It's
amazing how little our work matters.<g>
