Thanks for your support. I don't recall REMOVE in the late 70's circa MCD either, nor in any of the code that MSL/DCT created. I've only heard of it on this forum.
My present UD/UV clients have code converted from Jurrasic environments so that's why it doesn't show up there either. I am not in a forward-writing environment with UD/UV, just maintenance and some tweaks.
