Solved Quick Screen Index Retrieval Mystery

[Jayson Garrett]

Hey folks...

Solved our little mystery...

<embarrassment>

It was a data problem. The indexes that weren't working were trying to pull up a record which was failing a LOOKUP ON clause on another file. The way the system is set up, this shouldn't have happened, but did anyway, perhaps through a manual change of some kind.

Anyway, this did give me a chance to poke through and rip out a bunch of the ridiculous unnecessary procedural code in that screen, so there's that as a bright side, at least. :-)

</embarrassment>

Thanks to all who made suggestions!

"The human race is divided into two sharply differentiated and
mutually antagonistic classes -- a small minority that plays with
ideas and is capable of taking them in, and a vast majority that
finds them painful, and is thus arrayed against them."
