It should just cancel the process without altering/indexing, right?

When you do Modify Structure command for the huge table, you'll see a progress bar. Is it possible to have something like that?
I'll try SET TALK ON...

Anyway, I'll probably will go with adir().

Thanks again.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
