Ken,

You know what, I noticed that you were using -fp out_processing_name so
I tried it with -fp also and it works fine.

However if I use:

.../fp/5.0rreport.13 filename -f formname -u -z out_processing_name

	it bombs on the same line with the Long Variable name being used
as an array element.

This form is a report type output format.  It does not matter how I
select records for the report, it always bombs out.


Regards,


Scott
