Re: Sequence error in MR

Hi Doug,

Great catch.  But I don't know if this is the answer.  The file KAISXMITL1 does 
not have a descending index or is case-insensitive.  The file KAISLISTL1 is 
case-insensitive.  I ran this in debug and found no records have been read from 
the file KAISLISTL1.  The record the program is looking at from the file 
KAISXMITL1 is "ABEL E".  The next record in the file is "Abiah".  The dump 
shows all blanks in the FirstNameL field coming from KAISLISTL1 which means it 
didn't read a record yet because there are no records with a blank in 
FirstNameL .  It's acting like the case-insensitive is on the wrong file.  Is 
there a way I can have the LF treet the field as uppercase?
