If your records have value marks or sub-value marks in the ID's you may not be able to look at them with the editor (AE).
If you can select the records, try reading them in a basic program - if you can read them then you probably can delete them in the program too. One last thought, before I go, if you cannot access those records and don't need them, how about creating a temporary file, selecting the good records and copying them to the temporary file, now clear the file and copy the records from the temporary file back into the good file. Note, I can remember a software problem back in the 1980's where some records would be written to a file with a value mark in the ID's. Seems to me I was able to remove them but can't remember if I was able to use a basic program or if I had to remove them from the frames using the system debugger. The customer would have been running the old PICK O/S on ADDS, Microdata, Genecom, or one of the other systems DataWorks used to sell - in those days you had 'easy' access to the data stored in the frames... I sure fixed a lot of GFE's. Have a Great Day! > Paul Trebbien > Kore Technologies, Senior Support Tech. > "Solutions that work.

I've had success accessing garbled IDs by doing a wildcard SELECT which includes them, then ED FILENAME, then when you get to it SAVE A.BETTER.NAME and FD. :) -Keith ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
