Problem with SORTn command

Please review this and let me know if I am using SORTn properly.
Using version 5.6.6 I have 7 sort levels on the report and I specify
SORT2 in sort/selection processing to be equal to a dummy variable.
IOW, it's supposed to replace the second sort option.
On everything but SORT2 the sorts are laid out properly. I have set up
the processing table to hit SORT2=bh both on each record and only the on
the first record with no difference. It hits this before bh is set in
the processing table and bh is set just before processing the SELECT
command.
I've tried with bh set as (1,*) or the same as the original place
setting of (2,*). I also tried SORT2(2,*)=bh and SORT2(1,*), but
nothing changes.
I have stepped through the process with the debugger and bh is set
properly, (bh can be set to a value from "1" to "4") but the results
don't change. The report displays the results as if the SORT2 command
is never considered.
What am I doing wrong?
