Yep, RECNO() is not reliable in situations involving morethan asingletable. If it's needed, pull it in as a field as a separate step (it often pays to perform the WHERE filter segments that operate the single table in a Rushmore-optimizable fashion in the initial step) and then use the result with RECNO() embedded as a field in later steps.

If you are going to need the indexes for later use, COPY TO...WITH PRODUCTION maybe worth considering.
