Was just surprised when SCAN doesn't start with the first record but the current record. The intent was to examine all records.

The code is:

* cursor DTemporal is created with SELECT .... INTO CURSOR DTemporal READWRITE
INDEX ON xxx TAG xxx
...
DELETE ALL FOR <condition> IN DTemporal
* Several records are added.  Current record is last one added.
* The index has no effect on the order, at least as shown by BROWSE

...

SELECT DTemporal
SET DELETED OFF && To see all records
* The intent is to examine all records
SCAN
      IF DELETED()
...
ENDSCAN

The solution in to add GO TOP, of course, but I sincerely expected the SCAN to start with the first record. Instead it started with the current record.
