Colin,

For technical and readability reasons I strongly suggest the following
format for all ACCESS statements:

ACCESS  <1st filename>   &
        LINK <1st file reference>  TO <2nd file index>  OF <2nd file>
[OPTIONAL]  &
AND LINK    . . . etc

(The general level of readability in QUIZ programs is awful)
Next, the ACCESS statement in the 2nd pass has 2 LINK clauses (the second
LINK is implied).
For debugging try dropping the second LINK clause (STUD-INFO-DETL); add the
OPTIONAL clause after STUD-CRS-DETL-H.

What do you mean "it doesn't work"?
