David,

Create an 'I' type dictionary which with this function:

< 1 > Top of "REC_LEN"

001: I
002: LEN( @RECORD )
003:
004: LEN
005: 10R
006: S

Select the file with your new dict = 0

SELECT PARTS WITH REC_LEN = "0"

Is there an easy way to determine if a record is empty?

I have a saved list of a thousand or more records that have record ID's that 
interfere with our Ellusian database.

If they are truly empty, I can do house cleaning on them.  If they contain any 
data, I have to do a different process.

When I AE into a record I get 
:AE PERSON 2362
Top of "2362" in "PERSON", 0 lines.

So, it is really empty.

I believe there must be a better way than handling every one of them, but I 
have been away from Unidata and forgotten everything.
