Right!

Oliver, set this is just AN ARRAY OF Integer numbers!
This is very very simple abstraction.

You need get an Iteger value from Set, this is RecID.
So

    dim recid as Integer
     
    for I = 1 to count

        recId = set.ItemIt( I )

        Table.RecID = recID

        // Now you can do Update or Delete. Or read values of this record

    end if

No difference.

* Just ArraySet.ItemAt() allow you work with ArraySet without iterator.

* But for BitSet there is no itemAt(), and to get item of bitset you MUST to
work with Iterator.

* Iterator is an abstraction that allow you work with both, BitSet and
ArraySet and the same way.
