RE: Sequence error in MR

Good point.  However, if you are going to write trigger programs you might 
want to look at using Referential Constraints and not have to do any 
triggers in that case.

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.
