Can anyone help spot the problem in the second piece of code?

I am trying to program a simple list of cheques for deposit to the bank at end of day

If I use the following code, the cashiers have to enter their cashier number when adding each cheque:



** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [ GLOBAL CODE ] [] **



** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [NAME] [On Form Entry] **

If @IsNew {
      CASHIER = @PopupMenu("1;2;3","Enter Cashier Number")
      CHQDATE = @DATE
      NUMBER = @NUMBER
     }



** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [CASHIER] [On Form Entry] **


I tried to change this to entering the cashier number once at the beginning of each session using the following code, but the number converts to 0, regardless of which number they choose:



** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [ GLOBAL CODE ] [] **
Var vCashier as string
vCashier = @PopupMenu("1;2;3","Enter Cashier Number")
WriteLn(vCashier)



** PROGRAMMING SECTION: [NAME] [On Form Entry] **

If @IsNew {
      CASHIER = @TONUMBER(vCashier)
      CHQDATE = @DATE
      NUMBER = @NUMBER
     }

( With only five fields, I thought this would be one of the simplest files to convert from QA5 but I guess I was wrong as usual)

Thanks for the help.  That worked great.  Everything is in the manual somewhere (programming  p. 52) but it sure helps having the immediate feedback when you are learning.
