Is it possible that the resume field statement wont accept a 
row specification for a table field.  I want to use the value in
the first column of a table field (lastname) to fill in the 
second column (if there is only one person with that lastname)
and resume on the next row of the table field.  

resume field names[row+1].lname

generates a syntax error.  Am I missing something or is Ingres 
just lacking this seemingly simple and basic feature??
