The above sentence contains the root cause of your problem.  (Specifically,
why you believe changing the alias changed whether the lookup succeeded or
failed.)  Do you see it?

Unless, that is, there are other details about the change(s) you made, but
failed to mention.

Are you sure you're using the exact same value in dclerk's index prompt as
is in the ccp_code variable used in the lookup?

No.
