Ray,
Thanks for the suggestion - but no luck.
Setting @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE makes no difference. I checked again and @SELECTED does get set by the SELECTINDEX. I tried storing and resetting @SELECTED (which does seem to be writable), and again no difference.
The only way around the problem seems to be creating a new file keyed on operator number - just so I can do a direct read instead of a SELECTINDEX.

I expect that @SELECTED and @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE are affected in the caller (UV query engine) rather than in the called subroutine.
@SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE is writable (despite documentation to the contrary). Why not try intercepting it on entry to your subroutine and resetting it before exit?
