Lookup Filed not found error

[Richard Kreiss]

Have a process which does a lookup and test it starting with line 79 in my processing table. The program then does a GOSUB and copies the original record to a backup and then does a return.  The program then checks to see if some variable have been set.  Then tests to see if there is a dummy variable ln ne defile(3).  This is where I get the field not found error.

I know the lookup is valid as it has been tested previously and has been able to copy out the record looked up to a qualifier.  I don't know why defile(the alias) is failing the lookup.  Any suggestions as to why this code is failing.

I can repeat the lookup again but that would just be a work around for the issue.
