Weird output with associated field

[Boaz Bezborodko]

There are no indexes on the associated fields. 
The entire selection part of the routine looks like this
38  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
      ? If: 20 ge ba and 20 le bb and aa="" and 19 ne "AD"
      Then: SELECT
(The associate fields are 41 through 50.)

I removed the indexing commands to sped up the selection and go through 
the entire file, but that doesn't change anything.  I go through it with 
"debug" and verify that the record is being selected and even that the 
record is being processed during the output processing and that this 
happens on the associated record.  (I used a break condition on the 
specific field equaling the data that I was looking for and it stopped 
there and I verified that this was the correct record.  There is nothing 
in the output processing that would drop any record.)  But the data is 
not printed and totals don't include it.

This is really bothering me because I can't find anything in my 
processing which would cause the problem.
