Hmmm ... Can you explain further. My read of the OP does not show any problems with getting to the end of the loop -- there's nothing in the body of the loop to prevent the eventual exit.

    I think this is just a confusion between interpreting the sentence fragment "remainder of count" as "remaining records in file" vs "remainder of division applied to record count"

      Hello SuicideJunkie,

      Yes, I did interpret '...the sentence fragment "remainder of count" as "remaining records in file'.

      We have a tera-byte database that we exceed reading 100K records per second, so it seemed very odd to wait 10 seconds every 100 records. My bad!
