Are there any limitations when using the NEED option on a DESIGNER file =
statement?  Sometimes the following code snippet works, other times no =
DESIGNER file records are created.

my file statement is =20

    file TRANSFER-IN designer need 1

during a DESIGNER procedure I do a GET to the DESIGNER file TRANSFER-IN

    get TRANSFER-IN viaindex (...) via (...) using (...) optional=20
    if not accessok
    then begin
               put TRANSFER-IN
           end

Most of the time TRANSFER-IN records are created, maybe 20-30% of the =
time, no records are created.  I am baffled -- any ideas why this might =
occur?
