Terry,
I copied and pasted the find expression below into the Delete Field utility, checked regular expression, and clicked on delete field, and I got zero deletes. I'll try it again later to see if there's something I did wrong.
Thanks for your help. If you have any tips or maybe can tweak the expression, I would appreciate it.
Thanks so much,
Chris

If the 655 needs to be ignored, I think this would work:
Field: 6xx
Find: ^=6.[^5].{3} [^0]
Check the regular expression option.
This will only perform the operation when the field isn't at 655 field and meets the specific critiera.

Terry or anyone,
This is great. Could this delete expression (below) be modified such that all 655 fields would be untouched/not deleted? I can make it work by substituting individual fields for the 6xx in your instructions (610; 630; 650; etc.) but that requires repeated running of this expression. It would be nice if all the non-second indicator 0 6xx fields could be deleted without also removing the 655 fields with one command.
Thanks,
Chris

You can use the Delete Field function. I'd write an expression (assuming you are evaluating all 6xx fields with the specific
indicator)
File: 6xx
Field data: ^=6.{5}[^0]
Check Use Regular Expression
Delete Field
See attached.
