I'm attempting to join on a define field and am recieving the following error.

0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 5 IN PROCEDURE ADHOCRQ FOCEXEC *
(FOC370) THE FIELDNAME USED IN JOIN CANNOT BE FOUND IN THE FILE: INV_NUM_ME
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND

My .fex is as follows:
DEFINE FILE JOBDATA
INV_NUM_ME/A20=IF LENV(INVNUMBER, 'I8') GE 8 THEN SUBSTR(LENV( INVNUMBER, 'I8' ), INVNUMBER, 4, 8, 5, 'A5') ELSE INVNUMBER;
END
JOIN LEFT_OUTER INV_NUM_ME WITH INVNUMBER IN JOBDATA TO PSC_INVNUMBER IN ORDER_TRANSACTIONS_TBL AS JX1
TABLE FILE JOBDATA
PRINT INV_NUM_ME AS 'MISSING INVOIVCE,IN LC'
WHERE PSC_INVNUMBER IS MISSING OR PSC_INVNUMBER EQ ''
END

Thank you for your patience as this is my first attempt at what I can assume is a fairly routine task.

The JOIN comes before the DEFINE, even for DEFINE-based JOINs.
