>Thought maybe I needed to move off the row so I SKIP, SKIP -1, before the DOCASE. I am still in the CASE yet paytemp.INT_PMT = 2.

This is not the solution, but only a comment:

Whenever you have to SKIP, SKIP -1, use instead: GO RECNO(). It does the same thing but it doesn't change the record pointer (which is important many times).
