LEN(@RECORD) is a sufficient answer to the underlying question. I had remembered "LEN" and couldn't recall the "@RECORD".

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.
