A True Puzzle

[Nancy Palmquist]

I have a strange puzzle.

A process that has worked for years on a Windows platform, filepro 
version 5.0.

When I run it the normal way, it seems to stop before doing anything at 
the first selected record and just sits there.

If I add -db to the command line, the debugger starts and if I hold down 
ENTER to step through the records with the debug it runs correctly.

I added a SHOW on the third line so I could watch what happened when 
DEBUG is not on and the show is never displayed when the process is run 
normally.

If I hit CONTINUE or QUIT in the debugger, it just hangs where ever I 
left it in the count down.

The command line has a -u and I double checked it is not a locked record 
issue.  Also verified by the fact that I can step past the records in 
the debugger.

I rebuilt indexes - who knows right?

Nothing has changed with regard to the data structure or programming on 
this for many years.  It prints to a file, so it is not waiting for a 
printer to be online.

What am I missing?

Nancy
