So, a lookup to "invy" shows one date for "invy(@UD)", but plaing "!@UD" on 
a screen in invy shows a different date?

Can you simplify the processing, and arrange to send files to fPTech to 
demonstrate?

This is pretty much a "useless use of a lookup", as the entire subroutine 
can be replaced with "ud=invy(@ud)".  (I am assuming that you tried this, 
assuming that there was something "wrong" with getnext here?)
