UniData does not keep AM pointers. You might be thinking about UniVerse's hinting mechanism.

SEARCHITEM = RAISE(RECORD<31>) CNT = DCOUNT(SEARCHITEM,@AM) FOR PTR = 1 TO CNT ELEMENT = SEARCHITEM<PTR> .... NEXT PTR -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of David A.

This is your issue: CNT = DCOUNT(MVDATA, @VM) FOR PTR=1 TO CNT SNGDATA = MVDATA<1, PTR> ... NEXT PTR Use instead: MORE.FLAG = (MVDATA # "") LOOP WHILE MORE.FLAG DO SNGDATA = REMOVE(MVDATA, MORE.FLAG) ... REPEAT Of course other factors can help your decision on how to store your data. 1. Does it need to be sorted? 2. How do you need to retrieve it? David A.
