revdb_movenext

[Sarah]

Chris,

I think your problem is that revdb_movenext is a function and when you 
call a function from within a script, you have to tell it what to do 
with the result, you can't just have it all on it's own in a line with 
no other action.

I have used something like this:
       put revdb_movenext(cursorID) into moveOK
       if moveOK <> true then beep   -- error

You can also use "get" which puts the result into "it", which can be 
checked or not, depending on your needs.
       get revdb_movenext(cursorID)

Cheers,
Sarah
