<br>
The problem is a syntax error in your command<br>
<br>
you should use <b>mx secin bool=pioj proc='d.' </b><b><big>copy<font
color="#cc0000">=</font>secin </big></b><b>now -all
tell=1000</b><b><br>
</b><br>
and you missed the <font color="#ff0000"><b>= </b></font>(equal
sign) in the command<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">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><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><br>
mx dbase bool=pioj proc='d.' copy=dbase now -all
tell=1000</span></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>
