Clarion in general: Who What and Where

I use this code to play with.  It will wrap:

IF ?Browse:5{PROPLIST:MouseDownRow} = 0 AND ?Browse:5{PROPLIST:MouseDownField} <> 0      

    !Check for click in header and group header
  LOC:Who = WHO(Queue:5,?Browse:5{PROPLIST:MouseDownField})      
    !Gets the field name
  LOC:What = WHAT(Queue:5,?Browse:5{PROPLIST:MouseDownField})    
    !Gets the field value
  LOC:Where = WHERE(Queue:5,WHAT(Queue:5,?Browse:5{PROPLIST:MouseDownField}))  
    !Gets the ordinal number of field
END

LOC:Who is a STRING(40)
LOC:What is a CSTRING(100)
LOC:Where is a LONG

Hi Everyone

I am trying add userdefinable output to a database using the Who, What &
Where functions.

Who:  Works perfectly.

Where: Doesn't like being passed a variable string for the second parameter
(The field your looking for).  It always returns zero even when passed the
results of the Who function.  Not a problem I have a workaround for that
one.

What:  This is where I am having the real problems.  It only ever seems to
return the name of the field not the contents


        lcl:field=who(data:record,4)
        ! lcl:field now = 'data:lastname'
        fieldno#=mywhere(data:record,lcl:field)
        ! fieldno# now =4
        lcl:fieldcontents=what(data:record,fieldno#)
        !lcl:FieldContents now = 'data:lastname'

Anybody got any Idea's?
