==== Commuter Module Weirdness ({ } references) (AREV Specific) ====

Okay, so I'm writing about the 10,000th commuter module, and this one is behaving quite strangely and I cannot figure it out.



I am adding validation and option processing for fields on a data entry window that has an AMV group of about 7 fields.  Basically, the validation routine verifies that they entered a valid choice and that the choice is not redundant (a value can only be assigned once in the AMV field).  The options routine starts with a list of all valid options, removes those that have already been used, and then presents a pop-up of the remaining valid options.  It does this by using @ANS and referencing the existing record data using {field_name} calls.



All of this is working perfectly on the first field.  For the second field, the {field_name} call is returning a null value.  However, if I use @Record, I get the correct data.  I don't mind using the @Record reference instead of the {} reference, it's just bugging me that I can't figure it out.



If necessary, I can post the code, but it compiles fine and works great if I change the {} refs to @Record refs.  Also, I did make sure I was saving off @Ans when necessary so it wouldn't get stomped by the {} calls (that took me 15 minutes to figure out).



TIA!!!

<QUOTE>I am not specifically setting @DICT or @MV in the subroutine.  For some reason, I was thinking those would be passed in by the window.



I have switched all of my code to use @Record instead, and everything is working perfectly.  I imagine that one of the @ variables was getting stepped on, and this has worked around the problem.
