I thought of that, but I consider that part of #1.  But, until we hear back
from Richard, we can only guess.

The program is now working correctly with using mid.  I also moved the
lookup to the auto processing table in the one program where I could do
this.
This insured that the lookup actually took place.  This is one program where
I cannot run the program using the debugger without a major rewrite to avoid
the primary purpose of the program.  Moving the lookup to auto processing
insured that the variable was set for each record processed.

As for the other program using this routine, I did run the debugger and was
able to test that the variable was set properly.
