Sorry, I missed your if statement because it came before the line number.

You may want to check out Bob Stockler's processing posting program... 

At any rate, since the initial lookup fails when it should not, I would
suspect the process that runs prior to this code - if it first creates the
header record, and then you do this process to update it, make sure that the
lookup is closed before you do your system call.

Good Luck.
