Hi,

code...
Select wpsctrans
set order to tag xrec
more code...

The line 'set order to tag xrec' was returning an error 'Variable xrec not found.'.

You can get this error if you are somehow referencing the wrong CDX file. Simple example:

CREATE TABLE T1 (recnum i)
INDEX ON recnum TAG xref
CREATE TABLE T2 (recnum i)
INDEX ON recnum TAG recnum
SET ORDER TO TAG xref OF T1

Could the wrong index have been selected somewhere else in code ?
