Sorry I didn't describe my question clearly. The statemnets in function m_ac31 are used to recover records which were wrote to database earlier. I randomly found that the recovery were not done correctly, but most of times it were ok .I was just thinking if there were any wrong usage in my statements like 'thru' or using arrays in parameters . Of course there were no mistakes when I compile this program . By the way , you mentioned that I did not use 'return' in my main program, I did have return statement under the sleep statement . Any problem of the statement? thanks for your comments
