executing two designer programs sequentially

[Deskin, Bob]

If there are only QTP processes in these procedures, I don't see why 89 would be dependant on doing a retrieval or an update. Unless it's because they're numbered designer procedures and you have no data on the screen. If that's the case, what's happening in between 88 and 89 to make the data "disappear". If you made these named designer procedures with NODATA would it work?

If the PUSH UPDATE is supposed to update the screen data before running QTP, then I think someone else suggested using PRECOMMANDS UPDATE STAY. The PUSH puts the command on the stack for execution the next time QUICK needs a command. What you want is to update before the QTP runs. Use UPDATE STAY so that QUICK doesn't start into the next process  but rather stays in command prompt mode to execute the designer procedure.

No Bob ,
   I don't do a retrieval in the screen, but when I do and then execute 89 
it works well. But the aim is to have 88 and 89 execute sequentialy.Thats 
why I tried 88/89 in the action field.The previous response I got indicated 
that the push verb wouldn't work in this case as it most likely executes 
after both procedures.Thanks
