Dennis - just to be clear about a couple of things: 

1.  Even though you have said "Just those couple of lines," 
I'm still not sure what is happening in your code after the 
lookup - is there an unconditional "end" command?   Or does it 
fall thru to something - and if something,please supply us 
that code.

2.  When I mentioned "write" in auto prc before, I was generalizing. 
I'm assuming you don't write to real fields since you said that is 
not your programming approach. But then you replied in the next message,

>>>>I double checked the auto proc and there is no write command.
 
My point was that if you had even an assignment to a real field 
in the auto, that would also cause the sys fields to update.

To answer you other question, just as you saw, using a display command 
just after the lookup made no difference on my end either - in both cases 
no updates to the sys fields.  My initial version simply ended right 
after the lookup.
