When the condition is met the (first row that met the condition) row is automatically pointed to. The alias/work-area's record pointer "sits on" the record in question.
So then you can examine the specific fields of that row by coding AliasName.FieldName (or, the what you have so far, simply by FieldName.
I hope this is what you were asking.
good luck
