This sample shows how I have been able to get this to work:

SET ASNAMES=ON
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY

DEFINE FILE EMPDATA
NHIREDATE/MDY = HIREDATE;
NHIREMY/MY =NHIREDATE;
NEWSAL/D12.2 = SALARY * 1.5;
END
TABLE FILE EMPDATA
SUM
CNT.SALARY/I5C AS 'SCOUNT'
SALARY/D12.2C AS 'SALARY'0
ON TABLE HOLD AS SAL_STUFF
END

TABLE FILE SAL_STUFF
SUM
COMPUTE AVG/D12.2=SALARY/SCOUNT;
ON TABLE SAVE AS SAL_AVG
END
-RUN

-READ SAL_AVG &SAL_READ.12
-TYPE &SAL_READ

TABLE FILE EMPDATA
PRINT
COMPUTE SDIF/D12.2 = SALARY- &SAL_READ;
SALARY
END

I would ask you to upgrade your signature so we know what version you have.

The example given is ok, the only addition I would give is.

-READ SAL_AVG &SAL_READ.I12

I added the "I" because you want a numeric value.

It's all described in the wf761appslang.pdf file
