I'm trying to do a SELECT from a table where some of the records are deleted. I need to include the deleted records in the result set. I've done a SET DELETED OFF and my SELECT. If I don't filter the list, eg SELECT * FROM myTable INTO CURSOR zzz it maintains the deleted tag. As soon as I try filtering the table the deleted tag disappears:

SELECT iid, ;
       fk_product, ;
       avail_day, ;
       editdatetime ;
  FROM specials ;
  WHERE editdatetime > THIS.dLastUpdate ;
  INTO CURSOR v_specials

This includes the deleted records but seems to clear the deleted flag. Is there some keyword I'm missing? Is this even possible?
I can work around this by doing:

SELECT iid, ;
       fk_product, ;
       avail_day, ;
       editdatetime, ;
       DELETED() AS IsDeleted ;
  FROM specials ;
  WHERE editdatetime > THIS.dLastUpdate ;
  INTO CURSOR v_specials

But for my own curiosity I'm still wondering if I can do it more directly.
