ASSIGN VARIABLE TO LOCATOR FIELD 1

[C7ROOKIE]

I AM MAKING A PAYROLL PROGRAM.(CLARION 7)
FROM THE EMPLOYEES GROSS FIELD I HAVE A LOOKUP FILE TO SHOW
THE TAX RATE. IF I MANUALLY PUNCH IN THE GROSS PAY THE LOOK
UP WORKS GREAT. IF THE GROSS IS CALCULATED ( HRS * PAYRATE)
I CAN NOT GET IT TO CARRY OVER TO THE LOOKUP WITH THE AMOUNT CALCULATED. WHAT AM I MISSING???

Hi!

It would be a better approach to define a parameter for the Tax Lookup procedure where the Gross Amount is being passed. That way, it will not depend on the availability of the correct value in the Record buffer. To do that you need to ::

1. Set the Prototype and Parameters (under Actions) of the Tax Lookup procedure as (REAL inpGrossAmount).

2. Use the inpGrossAmount to calculate/select the Tax Rate.

3. Call the Lookup procedure as MyTaxLookup(MyGrossAmount) from the calling procedure.
