Elmer,
Sorry I tried to cut down on the amount of code and left out some important parts.
There are GO statments after each INSERT and no index on MyTable. It does have relationships set as follows but MyTable is the parent table:
USE OurTable ALIAS MyTable SHARED
SELECT link_id,tran_code,activity,CNT(*) FROM MyTable ;
WHERE !EMPTY(link_id) AND part_num<>'000000000' AND !EMPTY(gl_ind) GROUP BY 1 INTO CURSOR moa_link
INDEX ON link_id TAG link_id
SELE MyTable
SET RELA TO ALLT(MyTable.SOURCE)+ALLT(MyTable.ulob_co)+ALLT(MyTable.ulob_lob)+MyTable.tran_code+;
IIF(MyTable.pend_stat$'R,X' AND VAL(MyTable.assoc_act)<>0,;
MyTable.assoc_act,MyTable.activity) INTO otran
SET RELA TO link_id INTO moa_link ADDITIVE
SELE otran
SET RELA TO ALLT(MyTable.SOURCE)+PADL(ALLTRIM(STR(cat)),6,"0")+UPPER(ALLTRIM(MyTable.fund_type)) INTO htran
SET RELA TO ALLT(MyTable.SOURCE)+PADL(ALLTRIM(STR(cat)),6,"0")+'ANY' INTO htran1 ADDI
SELECT MyTable
SCAN
SELECT MyTable
SCATTER TO laArray
_currec=RECNO()
IF !EMPTY(MyTable.link_id) AND !MyTable.moa_flag AND !EMPTY(MyTable.gl_ind)
FOR x=1 TO 9
DO CASE
CASE x=1 AND ...
laArray[22]=laArray[22]+"SA"
INSERT INTO MyTable FROM ARRAY laArray
GO _currec
CASE X=2 AND ...
laArray[22]=laArray[22]+"GA"
INSERT INTO MyTable FROM ARRAY laArray
GO _currec
CASE x=3 AND ...
laArray[22]=laArray[22]+"MF"
INSERT INTO MyTable FROM ARRAY laArray
GO _currec
ENDCASE
ENDFOR
RELE laArray
REPLACE MyTable.processed WITH .T.
LOOP
ENDIF
SELE MyTable
DO CASE
CASE !processed AND _inhtran
REPLACE MyTable.processed WITH .F.,RULE WITH '97'
CASE !processed AND !_inhtran
REPLACE MyTable.processed WITH .F.,RULE WITH '74 Fund not in matrix'
ENDCASE
ENDSCAN

>>The cause of the problem is the records INSERTED during the scan are never processed. Walking through the code in the DEBUGGER shows the MyTable hits EOF when on the record that was the last record when the SCAN started. I could reproduce the problem VFP 8 and VFP 9 earlier this week at the office. Support is upgrading production code to VFP 8.0 so I thought it was a upgrade problem but they assured me the problem began BEFORE the upgrade was put in place. Well tonight I just ran the same code in VFP 6 SP5 thinking it would work but that is not the case. Walking through the DEBUGGER I get the same results as I do in VFP 8 and VFP 9.

>If no index order is set, check to see if the insert is changing the record pointer to the last record that was inserted? In my quick test when I insert a record in the scan loop, it moves the record pointer to the last record inserted which short circuits the loop causing it to exit without processing any other record after the insert. It behaves like issuing go bottom within the scan loop But if I save the record number prior to the insert, then return back to that same record after the insert, it processes all records including the newly inserted records. Unfortunately this will not work if there is an index order set since the inserted records may be placed in the index order before the last record processed in the scan.
