Could this be a bug in FilePro? (Was--Weird output with associated field)

[Boaz Bezborodko]

OK, I found out that the problem occurs when I use indexing to go 
through the sort/selection processing to speed up the operation and that 
it only occurs when this particular record is the first to appear in the 
selection set in the index. If I change the selection set to start on a 
day before, or I change the date field in the record so that it is a day 
later, (IOW if the record is no longer the first to be selected) then 
both associated fields appear correctly on the report. (BTW, if I added 
more data to the other associated fields they also wouldn't show.) But 
anytime it is the first record to be selected then only the first 
associated field appears. This is true for 3 other records that are 
identical to the first, but for 3 other months. In all cases the records 
appear as the first in the indexed selection set.

I also tried this with other records that have more than one entry in 
associated fields that would be the first in the indexed selection set. 
In all cases only the first associated entry is displayed and all others 
are missing.

Either I am doing something wrong (And I can't see where I am--though 
I'm not as experienced as the rest of you) or there is a fundamental bug 
in the way FP is working. (I'm using version 5.6.06D9.)

I execute rreport with a -io ('o' index is on the invoice date field 
'20'). I then ask for the beginning date (dummy field 'ba') and ending 
field ('bb'). I then use this to jump to the first record:

32 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
◄ If: ◄
Then: lookup - k=ba i=O -bg ◄

The selection processing then looks like this:

33 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
◄ If: ◄
Then: ai(10,mdyy/,g)="12/31/2050" ◄
34 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
◄ If: '--------------------------------------------------------- ◄
Then: ◄
35 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
SELECT ◄ If: 20 gt bb ◄
Then: lookup - k=ai i=O -bg ◄
36 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
◄ If: ag ne "" and ag ne 17 ◄
Then: END ◄
37 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
◄ If: MID(30,"1","13") eq "Keyoffs check" 'Keyoff checks should not be>
Then: END ◄
38 ------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
◄ If: 20 ge ba and 20 le bb and aa="" and 19 ne "AD" ◄
Then: SELECT ◄

This selects every record with '20' within 'ba' and 'b'. Even the record 
I'm missing gets selected for the first associated field in the record. 
But the second associated field never shows up even though other records 
with something in the second associated field get printed.

The Sort for the output file looks like this.

And the output looks like this:

As far as I can tell everything looks kosher. What am I missing?
