David,

You may have read what Frank Camp posted. Now, I see the challenge posed by & macros to compiler.
However, it would be a good idea and very helpful, in my case and many other cases such as

Transform(&lcAlias..FileNumber
Upper&lcAlias..Name)

for the compiler to issue the programer a warning of some sort.

>Besides we've given you several options for rewriting this particular code without needing to use & macros, which is what you'll need to do if you want full checking of your code at prg save time.

Thank you everybody for the various options/suggestions.
Full checking is nice. I have already correctd the error after it was reported to me at debug time so I don't need to go back and change the code just so I can get full checking. However, I will keep the options for my future use.

Thank you, David, really appreciated your time and messages.
Have a good evening!

Dawa
