RE: File/Service Program/Data Structure Problem...

Hi Brad,

From my experiments, its treating the file the same way that it would if
I didn't use any of the fields in the program...   It chains to the
record, but doesn't "execute" the input specs.

(In other words, in STRDBG it normally steps line by line through each of
the input fields that are used in the program, and skips the ones that 
are not -- but in this scenario, it simply skips them all.)

In my experiment, it did update the key field, the one that I was using
on my SETGT statement.  That did get updated if I viewed that fieldname
in STRDBG..

But, strangely enough, it didnt fill it in in the data structure.
