Jim,
Try a negative number for your skip parameter, representing the
number of fields to skip backwards... ie skip -5
Also, fwiw, you might want to consider using a single eep for your
form, it's just easier to manage and allows some flexibility you
don't get otherwise.
--- yourform.eep
Set v vCond = (CVAL('Form_Field_Name'))
Switch (.vCond)
Case 'vMeaid'
SKIP -5 --or whatever
Break
Case 'vyType'
SET VAR v1stchar = typeid IN ttyp WHERE typedesc = .vtype
break
endSW
recalc variables
return
