DEFINE problem in Dev Studio - WF7611 on 64-bit Win7

I have a simple FEX where the define will not work in Dev Studio on my PC. The same code runs perfectly on a Linux server.

On the PC I get 'The fieldname is not recognised; YRMONTH'. The other two fields, CCODE and COUNTRY work fine. CCODE is a real field and COUNTRY is defined in the MFD. If I put the define for YRMONTH in the MFD it will also work on the local PC. I'm not really keen to do that because I don't plan to use it all that much.

I have tried hand coding the define as
YRMONTH/MtrYY WITH ONUM = ODATE;
but that doesn't help either.

I'm also intrigued that Dev Studio puts single quotes around the right-hand-side of the WHERE statement for YRMONTH but not for the others.

Any suggestions?

DEFINE FILE NEWORDER
YRMONTH/MtrYY=NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.ODATE;
END
TABLE FILE NEWORDER
SUM
     'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.ODATE'
     'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.INVDATE'
     'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.PO'
     'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.CIFOT'
BY 'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.CCODE'
BY 'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.ONUM'
PRINT
     'NEWORDER.PRODUCTS.PDESC'
     'NEWORDER.PRODUCTS.PQTY'
     'NEWORDER.PRODUCTS.FOB'
     'NEWORDER.PRODUCTS.CIF'
BY 'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.CCODE'
BY 'NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.ONUM'
BY 'NEWORDER.PRODUCTS.PSCODE'
HEADING
"RECENT ORDER DETAIL"
FOOTING
""
WHERE NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.CCODE EQ &CCODE.(AND(FIND CCODE IN NEWORDER)).CCODE.;
WHERE NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.COUNTRY EQ &COUNTRY.(AND(FIND COUNTRY IN NEWORDER)).COUNTRY.;
WHERE NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.YRMONTH GE '&YRMONTH.(FIND YRMONTH IN NEWORDER).YRMONTH.';
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF

NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.YRMONTH

Try removing the "NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG" from the "NEWORDER.ROOT_SEG.YRMONTH" as "YRMONTH" is a DEFINEd field not in your MFD. Or, is it? If so, use a different fieldname in your DEFINE.

Thanks for the suggestion Doug - but unfortunately it still doesn't work.

Weird.
