Hi Tamar,
Thanks for taking a look at this long thread.

>What is CuDedEmp and how do you create it?
Sorry, I omitted the following code, which executes earlier in the same method:

* step 0A--create cursor CuDedEmp--all deduction data by employee
CREATE CURSOR CuDedEmp;
(iEmp I,;
cNameLast C(25),;
cNameFrst C(25),;
cNameMI C(1),;
cNameSort C(51),;
yDeduct Y,;
cAggType C(1))

Best regards, Chaim
