I found out what I was doing wrong.  I was setting SORT2=bh before 
setting bh.  Once I moved it to a point after bh is set then it works.

The filePro manual doesn't make it clear that this is a requirement. 
(The filePro manual also doesn't make clear that @WBRKn occurs in 
reverse order to the sort order.)
