I wasn't in the room, so perhaps you are doing more than is apparent
by just looking at this snippet.

However, why not just replace the doit lines with:

    doit
        Then: dim MyRecord[3]:1
          If: field gt "0" and field le "3"
        Then: MyRecord[field] = value
        Then: end

The "if" line can be eliminated if you pre-check "field" for valid
values.
