Pete,  
I am sure that there is a comma after tname.  The error occurs on the 
line that calls the routine.

Rick,
I thought this routine was suppose to take the field from the database 
and put it in the variable, data.  Here is the syntax from the 
documentation:

[func]
get_record (sequence db_name,sequence table_name,object key,sequence 
field, sequence index).

originally I tried:
data = get_record (dbname,tname,"V44.1","DESCRIPTION",{"")) Thinking 
that it would put the information from the description field of the 
database into variable data.  That seems more logical and closer to the 
documentation, but it didn't work either.

NEWS FLASH!  I tried it again using the example above and discovered the 
error was in the puts(1,data) statement.  I changed it to print(1,data) 
and now it is printing the data sequence.  Now I just have to get it to 
print in english.  I've tried puts, print, and printf.  I gues I got to 
go hit the documenation again.  Also, so far I can only do a find on the 
primary index.
