Been away for a day, but see problem still exists?
I would do Jim's suggestion, use a free table. There doesn't seem any point to add to DBC if you're just going to delete it. Also, you can't just do a query into a DBC table, if that's your intention, that may be causing the problem...whatever you decide, if you still want to use DBC, try using INDBC() to check table existence before REMOVE:

If INDBC(etc), then remove table delete...else message 'not in DBC'
