Converting from 7.10 F2 to 8.20 D

[elisabeth corsten]

Odette,
I'm really surprised a construct with a nested occurrance was tolerated in 7.10
- I know positively it hasn't been possible on HP for a long time. (It has
bitten me before!) The manuals (HP) state quite clearly "only one occurrance
count at a given time in processing". Maybe version 8 has plugged an
undocumented hole?

Anyway, would it be an option to change your data structure? To maybe change the
field array in the audit file to 3 different items?

Good luck
Elisabeth
