lookup problem

[John Esak]

Your message is a little to scattered to understand precisely.  

Three things jump out. 

1)
You are referring to rn= here and there, and if you are looking for a key
based value in an index, you should be using k= in the lookup line.  Maybe
you have an r= by mistake because you are seeing the rn= ??  You really
should just post your code and not all the other stuff.

2)
Why do you put the value sales(@rn) into the dummy value RN. Why not jjust
use sales(@rn) in the lookup code? Maybe RN has some incorrect edit type to
hold sales(@rn). 

3)
If there are two and only two records of the master record and you want a
value lower than that that doesn't exist, it of course won't be found.

4)
Usually, errors saying 

> Field not found.
> 
> Lookup has not been performed.

Mean that the field being used for the key has not been defined.  So you use
something like k=ky and ky has no definition anywhere.



Also you put...

Well, obviously, no one can get this... Until you change one of the
5.6.10's.
