Hi Michael....
How about "SET RELATION TO nJobID INTO crap"
DELETE FOR EOF("crap")
(I'm sure there are better ways of doing it though...)
Hth, Robbo.

It's early (6am!) and I'm trying this without much success:
DELETE FROM eiwdb!jobs WHERE nJobID in (select njobid FROM crap)
Obviously you can see I've got a list of jobs that I don't want to keep in my cursor CRAP. What's the easiest way (other than me writing a SCAN
loop) to delete these buggers?
I'm not fully awake yet but the only thing I can think of at the moment is a SCAN loop doing a SEEK and DELETE.
TIA! --
