<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Bridgette<br>
<br>
In first place I want to congratulate you because a database with
more then 140 thousand records is really interesting<br>
By the Way, what kind of library you manage and where is it
located?<br>
<br>
Ok, let's go to work<br>
Out of curiosity, how do you get your hit of records, i.e. is the
term 'pioj' indexed in any way?<br>
do you extract that term using some sort of FST?<br>
<br>
I suppose that your bool=pioj is correct, so the way to do this
is: <br>
<b><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
mx dbase bool=pioj proc='d.' copy=dbase now -all
tell=1000</font></b><br>
<br>
The way to delete the record is copying the process onto the same
database, otherwise the result is only to the console, but has no
effect on the master file<br>
let's note that you cannot export records wiht a proc='d.'
because you cannot create deleted records !!!<br>
<br>
then ... please ... backup yuour database before you begin with
the killing !!!<br>
<br>
good luck<br>
