Is it wierd or is it me?

[MisterX]

it's a default stack job here... 

>      mark cds by finding it in fld "catFld" of stack "xyz"

mark cds of stack "xyz" by... should do the trick but

if you use the defaultstack property it should be a lot simpler...

this would make it safer to run...

put the short name of this stack into olddefaultstack
set the defaultstack to "xyz"
get the limNum of this stack
if it = 0 then
  get the getCat of this stack 
  mark cds by finding it in fld "catFld"
  save this stack stack 
end if
go to stack olddefaultstack

cheers
