Hi Cliff,
The issue that evolved from the original question was which method of accessing all attributes was the fastest.
If I just setup a loop like the one below, I get only 1833 loops per second. Until yesterday, I was unaware of the REMOVE statement and it's ability to quickly access attr's, and had always used the DEL method when outputting internal print buffers to do the "Page x of xx pages" title deal which came in faster than simply accessing the next value.
So I setup the tests to see what was the quickest way to access all the attributes in a record, and REMOVE won.
In that one method really does delete the attr to bring the next to the top, yes that would technically be apples and oranges, but in that which method was the most efficient in accessing the next attr, it would be Apples and Apples. Or would that be Oranges and Oranges? Hmm....suddenly I feel like having fruit....only question now, is should I have an apple or an orange? ;-)
