OK, lets say my Drug file (50) has 200 unwanted ZZDRUGNAME entries. So I did a search for these and stored them in a set. (search template) I circumvented the DEL nodes so I can delete the records. Now I want to delete all 200 of these records and point them all to one entry that says ZZ_DELETED_DRUG. When I use the ^LOOP feature to stuff a @ into the .01 field, it doesn't give me an option to repoint them to my specified record.
Besides, I think that anything that can be done through the console should be do-able from a program without having to stand on one's head.
