RE: Convert from free to fixed

Booth,

%LOOKUP is allowed in fixed format.  And it is valid as long as XMLFIELD is an Array.

If XMLFIELD is indeed a string field, then you would be correct in using the %SCAN.

And Mr. Rodriguez is correct to suggest that %TLOOKUP is used if XMLFIELD is a table.

I assumed that the code already worked in it's /free syntax.  No other choice as he provides no error messages or D-specs.

Is %lookup allowed in fixed format?  I believe that %lookup and LOOKUP 
are not the same opcode, and can not be used interchangeably.

If I am reading the code correctly, will you need to use %scan instead?
