An issue arose today with a browse lookup which was not getting to the drop command.

139  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -

148  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: 'lookup tran = transaction  k=mc   i=E -nxm  b=(sa&sb&sc)

The above had been working until 5.7.03.06 was installed.

I did try changing to b=(sa{sb{sc) with no change.  Drop_ac was not executed.

I went in a used the lookup wizard to create the browse:

146  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: lookup tran = transaction  k=mc   i=E -nxm b="(brw=12,7,-1 xkey=achprx show=pkeep pop=1 prc=drop_ac fill=asc,top)[Journa
147  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: l #  Code     Due Date        Amount   Ty Status]*1      *4         *7            $*sm       *6  *33"

When the wizard was used, the prop processing executed.

Has anyone seen this change in behavior?  I have a lot of programming that have browses which don’t use the wizard construct.

The missing lines are show statements for the browse.
