RE: READE not bringing in record data

If you trying to see the values from debug, you don't reference any

variables from that file in your program, so the values will not get
populated.

Ha! YOU WIN! Crazy. I added a simple AP.UID=AP.UID in the DOW loop (so I
had a reference to a field in that file) and now I can see it loading just
fine in debug (WSDC). This is why the parent files loaded just fine because
I was using their key fields to prime the setll and reade's.

James, if you were here I would give you a good old southern MN hug! I must
have spent two hours trying different things LOL!

Thanks to all who responded. I thought for sure I was either going crazy or
my system was all wacked out. Learned something new today.

Aaron,
Forgive me if I'm missing something, but how do you know your records are
not being loaded?

If you trying to see the values from debug, you don't reference any
variables from that file in your program, so the values will not get
populated.

Hope this helps,

Here is the code: http://mowyourlawn.com/temp/t_mktliv.html

I only included the tables necessary to get to the offending portion of
code
(highlighted in yellow). Anything jumping out? No subprocdures (I have
been bitten by that one before :-), but I do define a data structure for
each table so I can prefix the columns. Note that I have been doing this
(prefixing) for years and haven't been bit in the butt with it.

Aaron, just a quick shot in the dark: are you using subprocedures? If so,
be very careful with global vs. local declarations. If you have a data
structure defined locally in a subprocedure that has the file fields in
it,
those fields won't get loaded by a READ.

Hi all,

Not sure if this has to do with the fact that I just installed the

latest

CUMES, but I wanted to declare that up front as that seems to be the

time

my issue started.

I have a very simple program that first CHAINs to a header record
(successfully) and then does a SETLL/READE for a DOW loop for a child
table.
It finds the records on the READE (i.e. %eof(CHILD) is not on), but it
doesn't load the record data into my program. It continues to loop
through
for the exact amount of records that are in the child table (eight in

this

case) and then ends.
