Ignorant question here, but I don't remember this being such an issue on Universe. But is there a way in a SELECT statement to suppress the "Record xxx is not on file" error? Can do this with a DuoSelect, but seems there should be an easier way to just suppress the errors which slow it down so much.

If you are using an EXECUTE in a program to run the statement use the CAPTURING and RETURNING clauses to suppress screen output.

If you haven't already resolved this, use the "(R" option at the end of the select statement.  For example: SELECT VENDOR (R.  This also works for the any other jBASE function (eg; SORT, LIST, COUNT, etc).
