input processing question

[John Esak]

<top-posted>

Unfortunately, you have shown code that should work properly and does... So,
the fact that it is breaking for you is hard to diagnose. The only obvious
conclusion is that filePro doesn't think you are on screen "ordchg". So why
not try this. Instead of putting the test for @sn, put a test line 1 of:

    if:
   then: show "@the screen I'm on is" < @sn

    ...
     if: @sn eq "ordchg"
  thenc: form "Pslprpt" ... ...

Also, if you are familiar with the debugger, you could put

    then: debug on

as your first line and test exactly what's going on when this sequence of
code runs. Maybe it's not even hitting this code at all?
