060703 - Seem to have had a problem with updating status of action items.
060704 - Worked on this today, and may have fixed it. ref SDS 0 JV5G

0611 -
061101 - Ran an action item report this evening looking for something
061102 - constructive to do.
061104 -  ..
061105 - The default report for past 3 months came up with only 3 action items,
061106 - all in January.  This does not sound right, because it suggests
061107 - exceptional care in performing pending matters.  Research showed there
061108 - were at least 3 action items entered in the record on 040402 visiting
061109 - Kaiser last Friday. ref SDS 4 0001
061111 -  ..
061112 - Why aren't they listed in the default report.
061114 -  ..
061115 - In any case, up until the end of January there were always many action
061116 - items, now there are none after January.  So, we did something.

061124 -  ..
061125 - F2 save runs macro 0 that calls macro 304 to maintain highlights,
061126 - ref OF 1 1230, which updates the Special Control Field for action item
061127 - status, ref OF 1 FY4H, per the record on 951208. ref SDS 1 HR3S
061129 -  ..
061130 - Actually, macro 0 runs several times for various purposes during the
061131 - F2 save process.
061133 -  ..
061134 - Problems today are a little strange.
061135 -
061136 -    1.  At least in debug mode the code executed in a loop, because the
061137 -        comments explaining the code contained the -label ActnI; not
061138 -        sure why this should happen, since label strings are used often
061139 -        in comments to understand program flow.  The solution was to
061140 -        change the construction of the description.  Since this is a
061141 -        compiled macro, the compiled code removes all comments, so this
061142 -        may not have a contributing factor to current problems.
061144 -         ..
061145 -    2.  Counter 19 controls access to the code that maintains action
061146 -        items. ref OF 1 CH9F  Values for counter 19 seem to be set and
061147 -        reset correctly. ref OF 1 RH5J
061149 -         ..
061150 -        However, study indicates that counter 19 has been reset
061151 -        somewhere before it reaches the access conditional.
061153 -         ..
061154 -        The forward link op improvements, ref SDS 0 W49J, were actually
061155 -        performed within the past few links, to improve the format in
061156 -        the record on 000824 that lists accumulated improvements.  It
061157 -        uses outline numbers on the forward links, and this required
061158 -        changing the code in macro 204 that is part of macro 0 to
061159 -        maintain line numbers.  A major change in the code in macro 204
061160 -        is using macro 541 to find the left margin. ref SDS 2 LY6U
061161 -        Macro 541 may be the culprit because it uses a lot of counters
061162 -        and may reset counter 19.
061164 -         ..
061165 -        Research shows macro 541 does reset counter 19. ref OF 2 PG4F
061167 -         ..
061168 -        Solution is to change the counter from 19 to 261.

061182 -    setcnt 261 3003
061183 -
061184 -        Changed from counter 19 111 to 261 3003.  This results in
061185 -        updating the Action Item fields, but not sure if some code
061186 -        somewhere is not looking for 19 111.  A search did not show
061187 -        where this is occurring.  Somehow counter 19 is being reset to
061188 -        0 after being set to 111, so changed the switch to couner 261,
061189 -        which is interpretted below. ref SDS 0 OF9K

061213 -
061214 -        This is the code that controls when a Special Control Field is
061215 -        updated for action item status.  For some reason counter 19 is
061216 -        failing for the switch.  Investigation did not show where it
061217 -        is being reset, but that is occurring,
