QUICK Occurs With Primary file "challenge"

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

Pretty weird. Same results with 8.19c4 - guess PH really is common source!

Usually exceeding the screen limit is an error. Why is this a warning here?
Maybe because it uses 24 lines and Quick wants one for the error message but
24 is still displayable? Beats me.

But if you run the screen and enter id 09 or 10 in the action field you'll
actually get to the second set of id 01 and 02! Weird!

Richard Witcopp suggests that this is due to the 'for 4' on the cluster
statement. Wrong. This means 4 lines which is used here to generate the
blank line line between records.

My fix would be simply to shorten the screen by 1 line -- put the first
title on line 1 as in
> TITLE "*** Part Information ***" CENTERED AT 1,40
and you'll get what you want.

My problem is with the field IDs starting over again with 01 & 02 after
IDs 
07 & 08 and the 2 warnings.   I know that the Warning Message line is 24
by 
default.  I want the screen to be readable so that is the reason for
blank 
lines between the five occurances.
 
Here is the Quick source and results:
