Make search expression fit to index signature (assuming your index: emp1no+DTOC(wend)+jobno):

Select * From ntimetbl ;
  Where emp1no+DTOC(wend)+jobno == ;
    padr(m.emp1no,fsize('emp1no','ntimetbl'))+dtoc(m.dVar)+m.jobno ;
  InTo Cursor myVerifySingle

PS:Dtoc(m.dVar) is dependant on current date setting. dtoc(m.dvar,1) would be safe.
