Re: Referencial Integrity - Was: RPG Cycle

No. Don't write a program with matching records to find orphans.  It works 
great and runs like lightning, but the last time I did that the supervisor 
looked at the 10 lines of code and gave the project to a "real programmer" 
who did it in less than a day and less than 100 lines of code.

That brings back my original question, how to you clean the files?

Do you write a cycle program using NMR to delete orphans?
