lookup problem

Yes, now that you mention it, I would be inclined to think the table itself
has a corruption of some strange kind.
Also, the different alias in rclerk a dclerk. What is the value of
PFLBSIZE
In your environment? I would put this in the config file at a nice high
value, say 8192 and try it all again.
Please let us know if this changes the behavior at all.
You have seen before that I have said too low a value for PFLBSIZE causes a
whole host of seemingly unrelated errors. It certainly possible that an
alias is part of what PFLBSIZE covers.
Also two other comments. Bruce's suggestion of compiling the table with the
right automatic table is importatn, or no, that was probably Bill; randall's
suggestion.
And secondly, you mentioned that you put a WRITE on the auto table lookup
just in case fielPro was locking the file. FilePro doesn't just do something
it's not supposed to do for no reason. If you have no -p on the lookup line,
it certainly won't just lock it anyway. Regardless, of this pretty
importatn concept.... Putting a WRITE on the automatic table to "fix" it is
very, very bad idea.
Every other table you run will be WITING the file every time you run a
report ... Each record will be updated and WRITTEN out with a new timestamp,
etc. (@ub and so forth) plus what you see at the command line for date of
the key. However, it is more the bad things this kind of random writing
does to the indexes that would be the worst reason for not putting a WRITE
on the auto table. I would remove that immediately.
