Hi Nick, I had tried checking out the ID's of the keys affected. There was was nothing unusual about them that I can tell. One was "1" and another was "2".
When attempting to edit them, they didn't exist. After reading your email, I write a quick test program: 001: OPEN "BREAKME" TO FH ELSE STOP 003: WRITE "1" TO FH,"1":@SM 002: WRITE "2" TO FH,"2":@VM 003: WRITE "3" TO FH,"3":@AM 004: WRITE "4" TO FH,"4":CHAR(10) 005: WRITE "5" TO FH,"5":CHAR(13) Bottom. *--: After running it, I did the select/nselect on BREAKME and it came back with 1 record. :) Record "3" didn't exist, the attribute marker is the culprit. Now I need to find out who has written a program that is causing this, because it isn't the first time these ghost records have appeared... It begs a question though. How come Unidata allows a program to write records with keys that it can not handle without error?

I suspect you have one or more VOC keys that have attribute marks, value marks or newlines in them. This will affect your select list. If you LIST the results of the SELECT I would expect there to be a couple of errors. They should be the beginning of the VOC keys and will allow you to find and fix the problem.
