Hi,

We're converting our PH apps from 7.10E6 on OpenVMS 6.2 to 7.33D3 on HP/UX
10.20, and we're seeing something "different".

In one QUIZ report, we have something like the following:

	ACCESS MYTABLE &
		LINK MYFIELD OF MYTABLE VIAINDEX YOURIDX TO YOURTABLE OPT
	
	DEFINE SOMEFIELDS1 CHAR*12 = GETSYSTEMVAL("SOME_CODE1")
	DEFINE SOMEFIELDS2 CHAR*12 = GETSYSTEMVAL("SOME_CODE2")
	DEFINE SOMEFIELDS3 CHAR*12 = GETSYSTEMVAL("SOME_CODE3")
	
	DEFINE STATUS_ENTRY CHAR*1 = PARM PROMPT "Enter Status: "
	CHOOSE VIAINDEX MYTABLE_NUMBER &
	  PARTNO PARM RANGE PROMPT "Starting Number: " &
	                  TOPROMPT "  Ending Number: "
	
	SET NOBLANKS
	...

In this example, "MYTABLE_NUMBER" is an index on "MYTABLE", and the users run
the compiled QUIZ.

On 7.10E6 OpenVMS, the prompts are displayed in the order they appear in the
source.  However, under 7.33D3 HP/UX, the CHOOSE PARM PROMPT is displayed
first.

Any ideas?  I looked thru the Cognos Website without much luck.

TIA,
