HELP CALCULATE
You have to have your dictionary open to @DICT as well.
I think you want to say
RESULT = CALCULATE(ATTRIBUTE)
Since {} is for a literal attribute name only.

Subject: [U2] @RECORD VARIABLES
I am attempting to pass a variable into a SUBROUTINE and use it to access the
data through the dictionary name.
SUBROUTINE fieldLookup(....., ATTRIBUTE, ....) .
.
.
READ @RECORD FROM F.FILE, @ID THEN
RESULT = {ATTRIBUTE}
END ELSE
RESULT = ""
END
The part that isn't working is the RESULT = {ATTRIBUTE}
As written here it is looking for a dictionary attribute named ATTRIBUTE.
I tried forcing it to evaluate the variable ATTRIBUTE to the value in ATTRIBUTE
by putting it in parenthesis, but it complained that it was expecting a
variable when it was compiling.
Is there a way to use a variable in the curly braces so that I can make this a
generic subroutine?
