If it ain't broke, at least change the oil once in a while! REFACTOR!

If it ain't broke, and your T-model was built in 1915, it won't be long before your competitions chews up the road before you and runs you plain off the road!

Make your pit stop regular! REFACTOR!

Don't rewrite the whole thing all at once, but REFACTOR with every touch!

That is a perfect example of the "if it a'int broke, don't fix it"

I am thinking this will end up having something to do with an RA file.
This code is over 25 years old and just broke for the first time ever, two
weeks ago. Backtracking and reconstructing has made me appreciate just how

Is the file really indexed (are you pointing to something else that
isn't)?
Does the index really start in position 2 for 23 long?
Does the arrival sequence just happen to match the key?
