I'm really under the gun here.  I have a program that's been running
properly for years (RBase 7.1).  It is used to extract data from my
client's database for quarterly reporting to the government.  This
involves extracting data from a number of tables and reformatting it in
the manner required to import it properly.  
 
There are a number of lines of code that are do updates of data from
various tables, based on matching IDNO (the primary key for the
database).  This has always worked before, and now when it runs, none of
the data gets updated for those fields.  I've checked that the IDNO'S
match, the records exist.  The data is there.  The commands just aren't
working.  Can someone look at this code and tell me if there's a glitch
I'm not seeing?  I even tried loading this Database into 7.6 (client
isn't up and running on new version yet but will be soon) Same problem.
The I extracted one of the command lines (see below) and tried to run it
at the R prompt.  I got an error message (Syntax problem) and a "no rows
exist or satisfy the specified clause"  I've checked the tables.  There
are matching rows with appropriate data.
 
UPDATE FECUPLOADTEMP SET FRCODE = FRCODE FROM BIOFILE, FECUPLOADTEMP
WHERE FECUPLOADTEMP.IDNO = BIOFILE.IDNO
