Ken:

It appears that I have greatly improved if not eliminated the app. exiting
by clearing the variable which is capturing the data stream after I parse
and post each record.  I don't know why this would have an impact but I do
like the short term results.  Do you have any idea why adding 
BB="" before I loop back to receive the next stream would seemingly resolve
this issue?  The variable is defined as BB(2000,*) so it is rather large if
that matters.
