I am inputting field data using globals on an input layout. Five are working fine, one is not. They are all copies of the original that works. The data is created in the global layout and then copies to a new record using:

[set Field [new::record[global::record]].

On the one with problems, script debug is showing an 111 error, "field repetition is invalid" and will not copy the data to the final record. The field repetition is set at 1, the default. I have tried to compare and see where the difference is, but can't locate it.

any help is appreciated,

I am not entirely sure I understand you but your set field step should look something like:

Set Field [new::record; global::record ]

It looks like you have put the result in the 'Repetition' box of the 'Specify target field' dialog, instead of the calculation box of the 'Calculated result' dialog.

You were both right. I could'nt see the forest through the trees.

got it fixed, thanks

Again and again you provide spot on solutions .... many thanks. I spent a while looking for the same problem ... came here and you did it again.

So grateful.
