Thanks Ken, I was missing the { } around the first part of the edit.  I had
tested the edit before I used it anywhere, and it always returned what I
wanted (I used several different numbers to test).  Only when I tried to
use real data and doedit did it fail on me, odd.  Now everything is working
as I originally planned.

Thanks to Joe Chasan as well.
