Why?

[George Simon]

Ken, if I call the table from the output processing table, hasn't the
automatic processing table already executed all its code before the output
processing even begins?
And if so, why is it that whatever line is causing the error to occur when
the table is called from automatic, does not have any effect when the table
is called from the output processing table?
The only difference I see is that one line (the one that calls the table) is
remarked out from the automatic table.
I just don't understand, I guess.

That's because you keep mentioning "why doesn't it crash in *clerk when
it crashed in *report".

And my point was that it's not a simple "execute this line and *report
will crash".  The fact that it's only crashing when you are calling it
from automatic may be irrelevent.  It may be something that's in your
automatic table that's causing the crash, and the crash would occur
just the same if that code were in the output table.  The fact that it
doesn't crash when called from @ONCE may be because the code in automatic
that's the real cause of the crash hasn't yet been executed, and not
related to if the table is CALLed from automatic or output.
