FIND mode not working

[Syed Shahul Hameed Mustaffa]

Dear Joe,

I cannot remove the existing FIND procedure. There are application
logic built into it.
I am explaining the scenario in a better fashion underneath. I'm
trying as much not to confuse. If u still require the code (which is
simple), I'll post it.

In the original code, the FIND procedure calls an internal procedure
called GETPARAMS.
This procedure contains the REQUEST statements. Based on what I enter
on the REQUEST fields, a temporary variable called TCOMPUTER is set to
a value.

With this code, when i execute the screen and try to select FIND mode,
it does not work. However when, I moved the GETPARAMS procedure to the
PATH procedure, I can get the screen in select mode. I can enter the
parameters and everything seems to be ok. But the problem starts when
I hit the ENTER Key to initiate the data retrieval. The TCOMPUTER
value set by the PATH procedure gets lost (reset to 0) when the
control reaches the FIND procedure. In the find procedure, I have a
GET statement that uses this TCOMPUTER to search for records. I tried
hardcoding the TCOMPUTER value that I lose on the transit, and the
search works fine. I searced in vain for any intermediate code that
resets the value of TCOMPUTER.

Pls. give me some insight about what happens between PATH and FIND
procedure calls.

Thankyou somuch.
Syed
