Browse lookup possible gotcha

[GCC Consulting]

This is more of a cautionary warning.

I needed to modify an old program to handle change the index used in a browse
lookup based on the customer whose order is being processed. 

The browse had been created using the browse wizard.

I broke the browse to its component parts but added a processing label
prc=do_num.

ba=
bb=
bc=
b=(ba&bb&bc)

Finished the other necessary changes and ran a syntax check. Everything was OK.

The only problem, I forgot to add the sub-routine for the prc=.

No syntax error.

I test this using the wizard.  In both cases, wizard & non-wizard configuration,
if one forgets to add the sub-routine there will be no warning during the syntax
check.

Now, I realize that this is a programmers responsibility.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up in case, like I did, you forget to add in
the routine.

Yes, I remembered to add it in right after I left the program. No run time
errors.
