Bill,
I start to read sequentially at the beginning of the ESDS file (RBA = 0) with a startbr and readnext.
After I endbr and rewrite to the file, however, my original readnext has lost its place. Hasn't it? I have to go back to the startbr with the address of the next record on file (which I haven't read yet). At least, that's what seemed to be happening to me when I was testing it. It all started working when I added the record length to the RBA before looping back to my original startbr again.
It's probable that my thinking is hosed here.... But, how else do I get the next RBA so that I can re-start my next browse? If I don't bump it up, the next startbr will just re-read the record that I just finished processing. Won't it?
Thanks!
