My guess is that you told %lookup that your array in ascending order (by coding the ASCEND keyword on the array) but failed to actually sort the array in ascending order.

Either sort the array prior to the lookup

or remove the ASCEND keyword.

    c                   EndIf

definitions of the fields:
     * Employee leave code totals
    d                 ds
    demp_ltotals                          dim(999) ascend
    d eltot_lcode                    2    overlay(emp_ltotals:1)
    d eltot_ldesc                   15    overlay(emp_ltotals:*next)
    d eltot_lfmt                     5    overlay(emp_ltotals:*next)
    d eltot_lamnt                   10s 4 overlay(emp_ltotals:*next)

edleav is off the file, it's 2 positions long.  Am I missing something
here?  Or have it totally screwed up?
