Quick and subfile problem

[Boyle, Joe]

Hi Karen,

Mpe tends to like word aligned record lengths and field lengths, check that
all byte lengths are evenly divisible by two.  
You should be able to type 'sho sub subfname' from the location of the
subfile to view the byte sizes if using any defaults.

Which version of PH are you using and does sequential access work ok ?

This is an old-fashioned PH question -
I built an indexed subfile and am accessing it in a Quick screen via the
index and request.
When it goes to fetch the record complex, the message is

"The actual record length doesn't match the length in the dictionary.
(CTYSUB1*01)"

Here is the FILE statement -
  FILE *CTYSUB1.SUBFILE ALIAS  LOOKUP-MEMBERS PRIMARY  OPEN READ
           ACCESS VIA PRIM-INS-NBR &
                 USING PRIM-INS-NBR OF LOOKUP-MEMBERS   &
                 REQUEST PRIM-INS-NBR
           ACCESS SEQUENTIAL

I request in PATH -
 REQUEST PRIM-INS-NBR OF LOOKUP-MEMBERS
      IF PROMPTOK
          THEN LET PATH = 1

The error occurs when executing  the FIND (Path 1)

    GET LOOKUP-MEMBERS &
              VIA   PRIM-INS-NBR &
               USING PRIM-INS-NBR OF LOOKUP-MEMBERS

Any suggestions?? The subfile and index work fine in Quiz.
