You can't use stuff like THIS, THISFORM, and THISFORMSET in an OKL- those keywords only have scope inside an object method, and OKL routines are not methods. I don't use formsets, so I can't help you there, but if it were a form, oyu could call a routine that loops through _SCREEN.Forms looking for your form and call the method that you got from that object reference

ON KEY LABEL F9 DO RunFormMethod

PROCEDURE RunFormMethod
FOR EACH oForm IN _SCREEN.Forms
IF oForm.Name = "MyForm"
oForm.SomeControl.SomeMethod()
ENDIF
ENDFOR

Keep in mind, I still don't approve of the use of OKL here... :-)
