Subject:  Reference file removed



I had a small application that was written by  a outside consultant, and
written with a reference file. We don't want to use  the reference file, so
I went in and changed all the references, but in my  display files I have
two fields giving me problems.  I get a  error on the edtcde and edtword
that worked when the field was referenced,  but now it wont take them.
Below is a example the lines with  XXXX are the error lines.   Any light
you can shed on this would be  greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris.
