Thanks Michael,  I dont want to go that way because this program deletes 
millions of records and I need to keep it as fast as possible,  that is why I 
am reading sequential and blocking records. The overhead of a chain on each 
record might slow it down considerably. 

But I will test it out to see if does return control on the CHAIN and post the 
results.
