A Question for the Programmers

[Kevy Baby]

On rereading, I see my error in misreading. The loop exit only occurs when ABC equals 1: I was erroneously reading the string that the routine would never loop because of the "1=1" exit.

Hopefully I can figure out the bigger problem on Wednesday.

Yes, the routine is to duplicate a record. Unfortunately, when I try to replicate (repurpose) the code, it wasn't working. Hopefully when I look at this with a fresh mind, the problem will become apparent.
