Douglas - you have received a number of responses to your question.
Scott was correct with the combination of CHAIN and %EOF. (This is
something that  ALWAYS makes me sit and think)
Another way to code what you are looking for is:-

C     DVNDNO        SETLL     PAYABLES
C                   DOW       NOT %FOUND
C     DVNDNO        DELETE    PAYABLES
C                   ENDDO

I am having a bit of a problem this morning with the following code:

C     DVNDNO        CHAIN     PAYABLES
C                   DOW       NOT %EOF
C                   READE     PAYABLES
C                   IF        DREFNO = PREFNO
C                   DELETE    PAYABLES
C                   UPDATE    PAYABLES
C                   ELSE
C                   READE     PAYABLES
C                   ENDIF
C                   ENDDO

I am chaining to the file with no problem and I need to stay within the key
(which is why I am using the reade), I am checking for a specific refno and
if I find it I need to delete it, but the system is complaining that I have
not performed an input operation....I would have thought the reade
performed
that, what is the proper way to handle this?
