Thanks for all the DETAILs, Stan, but my question / problem regards a MASTER
set!  Same situation, but using an explicit b-tree and no Super-chain
involved.

Based on your explanation of backspacing the KSAMXL file, it would seem that


DBFIND ( "master-set" , "only-key-item", mode1, "@" )
DBGET  ( "master-set" , mode6, )

*COULD* work, but it doesn't work for me.  Btree bug or I'm overlooking
something?

TIA
