I was using d) due to what I read in STN's filePro Developers Reference that
stated A) is treated as A0).

Anyway, I switch everything over to D0), and it still doesn't work.  While
it finds the records that have "O" in one of the associated fields, @AF
always returns 1.  I've tried this on SCO *report 4.8.11D4 and FreeBSD
*report 5.0.13D4.

In my map I have two groups of associated fields: d0) and d1).  I want to
find the code "O" in d0, and the corresponding value in d1) using @AF.  The
way I understand it that if O is in the 3rd associated d0) field, then @AF=3
which I can use as an index to an array overlayed over the group of d1)
fields.

I had to resort to running through the group of fields manually to
accomplish this, but thought it should work the way I was originally trying.

Thanks for the info.
