Doedit fails

[GCC Consulting]

I have the following edit
title  ◄!1! <Mr.>|!2! <Mrs.>|!3! <Miss>|!4! <Ms.>|!5!<Dr.>|"Mr."|"Mrs."| "Miss" | "Ms."|"Dr."|fa1
fa1    ◄!mrs!<Mrs.>|!miss!<Miss>|!dr!<Dr.>|!mr!<Mr.>|!ms!<Ms.> |fa
fa     ◄!MRS!<Mrs.>|!MR.!<Mr.>|!MS.!<Ms.>|!MR!<Mr.>|!MS!<Ms.>

The edit is 4 characters and works fine in a real field.

I need to export this type of data from an imported file which is a (5,*) field.

No matter what I do, the ending field is blank when I try to apply this edit.

I have tried:

Ti(4,*)=""{3;su(4,title)=ti	result su is blank

Tried: xx=doedit(ti,"title","4")	result xx empty

Tested in the debugger doedit("ms",title,"4") and got Ms. Which is correct.

Why won't this work with a variable

Fp 5.6.01

There are 3519 records involved and I need this data.
