FW: Doedit fails

[GCC Consulting]

I retested this problem using fp 1.0.14 and found that the edit works there.

Tested this again with 5.6.01 and it fails.

Sent this to both "the list" and fp support.

Subject: Doedit fails

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.
