>>Have needed many time to "hold_recno = recno()", do something, then "go hold_recno". This does not work if recno was eof or bof. What is a good way to save the record pointers position, and then return exactly there, whether it is a good recno, bof or eof.

looks like a job for a HoldRecNo object, it could even store a sequence of recnos
