Uhm... Why would one want to set

LIVING=Y

on a person that HAS a DEATH GROUP event, regardless of date? (This
person died, but because we don't know when, we decree the person is
still living?)

Or did I misunderstand a question in the original post and
the desire is to set the flag to N (in which case, put parens around
the death/burial group clauses, change the condition to >0, and
change the boolean to OR -- to find those that have any death/burial
group; date is irrelevant if setting these to N)
