Jerry -

This exact issue perplexed me once for couple of hours.  The key field was a 
numeric, and the program _was_ compiling, and the chain was succeeding 
(without the K on the F-spec to indicate a keyed file), but I was not 
getting the desired result.  This type of program example could be a good 
way to test someone's problem-solving skills - tell the candidate that the 
program is not producing the correct results, and let them figure it out...
