I realize that you have dropped the topic, now that you know you need to 
compile with "-y".  However, your processing does, in fact, do the above. 
(You didn't send all of the lookup files, so fpsupport can't actually run 
the report to see if this is the cause.)  There may be other instances as 
well, but I stopped looking.

Your output processing "whltaly9", line 47, has:

     vg(10,.2,g) = vg + 18

And dummy field "vg" is defined in the automatic table, but not "autotaly".

Also, compiling "whltaly9" gives numerous warnings about dummy field 
definition conflicts, such as:

     Warning: Line  47 - VG already has an attribute of (74,ALLUP) in 'auto'
     processing
