ah!  thanks.  I hadn't made the connection.  Where would one use %Equal?

(I'm not trying to start a dou vs. dow debate.  I tried with both DOW and
DOU but was failing both ways.  I just didn't understand the %equal I
guess.)

Booth,

Hmm, haven't had any DOW/DOU wars for at least a week, I think:-)

You use 'DOW %equal and not %eof', but neither have been influenced by the
preceding CHAIN.  So the outcome is the result of things outside the code
fragment.  In this case 'DOU %eof(INVDET)' would make more sense.

Two remarks:

%equal does not make sense here; it might make sense after a SETLL.

Although the compiler does not agree with me, I think the filename should
be
required when using these BIFs with files.
