data in wrong file

[Deskin, Bob]

I can't see anything unusual in the PDL. I suggest working through
Customer Support and supplying the QUICK screens that might cause the
problem.

Bob,

These are 2 different layouts on two different physical files. Items
have different names. The problem is that I can't narrow the problem to
one particular screen. Therefore I don't know if it's a subscreen that's
causing problems.

Attached you will find the pdl's

Record VK-ORDER-KOP is written into LO-TOEW, so LO-TOEW contains wrong
data.

Thanks,
Johan.
