Curious why you are doing this as a user exit? iirc, there are differences between using an A and an Itype. In an itype, the subroutine is called just once for each item in the file. With an A-type, the subroutine is going to be called once for each value/subvalue in the attribute referenced by the amc on line 2 of the dictionary entry (which in this case is 0 so there will only be once value, but be careful using it on other attributes in the item)
The subroutine needs to be cataloged with a "$" prefix, $RNS.CB.MAS.SUB rather than just RNS.CB.MAS.SUB, and I think it needs to be cataloged globally. >From the universe manual: Cataloging User Exits Once you have written and compiled the UniVerse BASIC subroutine, you must catalog the program. User exits are cataloged globally by specifying the user exit name with a dollar sign in front of it. For example, to catalog the user exit U50MB in the example shown earlier, use the CATALOG command as follows: >CATALOG CATALOG NAME or LOCAL = $50MB FILENAME = APP.PROGS PROGRAM NAME = 50MB Or you can use the form: >CATALOG APP.PROGS $50MB Like any other program, a user exit must be compiled before you can catalog it. See Chapter 8, “ UniVerse BASIC,” for more information about cataloging UniVerse BASIC programs. Cataloging Programs in PICK Accounts PICK and IN2 flavor accounts do not permit global cataloging; therefore you must either catalog the program in a different flavor account or create an INFORMATION flavor CATALOG entry in your PICK account. To create an INFORMATION flavor CATALOG entry, create a VOC entry which is the same as the entry for CATALOG, except that field 6 is defined as INFORMATION.FORMAT instead of PICK.FORMAT.
