If I recall correctly one of the rules regarding variables is to _never_
name a var the same as a column name.

My personal coding practice is to call a var the same as a column with
the v prefix.   Eg. the var vHeaderID set to the value in col HeaderID,
makes for ease of understanding for me.

Others have suggested naming conventions with more useful purposes, like
vRptHeaderID (so you know it was set in a report) or
vFrmHeaderID (for a form) which also make clearing many variables with
one
CLEAR VAR vFrm%

The other thing in the code below that I think Albert picked up on is that
there are no parenthesis surrounding the col list in the INSERT statement.

You have:

>INSERT INTO matlist jobnum, mldate, qty, partnum, discript, +
>price, product, margin, emp_mult +
>VALUES (.invjobnum, .invmldate, .invqty, .invpartnum, .invdescript, +
>.invprice, .invproduct, .invmargin, .invempmult)

Whereas I would code:

>INSERT INTO matlist (jobnum, mldate, qty, partnum, discript, +
>price, product, margin, emp_mult) +
>VALUES (.invjobnum, .invmldate, .invqty, .invpartnum, .invdescript, +
>.invprice, .invproduct, .invmargin, .invempmult)
