Theo,

Bruce sent you the following syntax segment.

do if A=1. /* higher degree .
- compute AB = B. /* which higher degree (1-5).
else.
- compute AB = A+4. /* (2 -> 6, 3 -> 7, etc).
end if.

You modified it to read.

do if hiqual8=1. /* higher degree .
- compute Qual3 = higho. /* which higher degree (1-5).
else.
- compute Qual3 = A+4. /* (2 -> 6, 3 -> 7, etc).
end if.''

I think you failed to make all variable substitutions. Specifically here:

- compute Qual3 = A+4. /* (2 -> 6, 3 -> 7, etc).

Should be, I'll bet

- compute Qual3 = hiqual8+4. /* (2 -> 6, 3 -> 7, etc).
