last update using get next from a different file

[Mike Fedkiw]

Well, It seems as though the @ud  simply does not work when exporting 
records. I changed the processing so I could do the output directly from 
the invy file and the @ud is still stuck on 09/15/14(the first record 
found @ud) for every record after too. I also went into the invy file 
using IUA and scanned through a bunch of them. Pretty much every record 
that I saw had a different @ud date.

The @rn record number works just fine though, I don't get it...


62  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: invfile(26)=oh
63  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: invfile(27)=@rn
64  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: invfile(28)=@ud
65  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: invfile(29)=hl
66  -------   -   -   -   -   -   -
       ◄ If:
       Then: end
