I spotted at least 2 errors in your program. One is the locate where you
are locating on the first field but inserting into fields. It should be:
locate Part in Part.Array by 'AL' setting posn else null
ins Part before Part.Array<posn>
If you want to insert into a field array and
locate Part in Part.Array<1> by 'AL' setting posn else
null
ins Part before Part.Array<1,posn>
if you want to insert into a multi-value array.
The second is the for next loop where you are doing:
for Part.Count
and a
next This.Part
This.Part is a variable defined as
This.Part = Part.Array<Part.Count>
This may actually be what is giving you the error.

I am having a problem with a straightforward read statement that is

Suggestions would be appreciated.
