ja that could work, but i think it is possible to have for example a DS 1 and the next one could be DS 1000 with nothing inbetween. i have currently in my testing a DS 1 and a DS 3, no DS 2. so that loop would have to be pretty high to try to ensure you got all. i don't know what the rules are when vfp creates new DS and related rules.
