empty records?

[Jose Lerebours]

Possibilities:

1) dim fields(999):1; clear fields; ...

2) lookup free; lookup(1)="" or some none populated variable

3) lookup free -; with write command but no values assigned

4) copy from lookup to lookup but nothing is being written - remember, a 
new record has nothing written to disk till flush/end is encountered

5) some lookup free command that creates a blank record and it does not 
come back to it to populate it (you are loosing track of having created 
your container record)

Just a few possibilities but nothing absolute!
