Strange problem with STOP QUIET

[Albert Howard <starbukk@concentric.net>]

I am having a rather bizarre problem in the following block of
code.  Note that right after the columns you will find the show
'stop test' line, followed by a stop quiet.  When
executing the program as it is, the stop quiet works like its supposed
to.  However, if I move the line move &A.COMPANY to
$COMPANY up above the show and the stop quiet, the program hangs on
the stop quiet.  Instead of terminating, the show still displays,
but then the program just sits.  This also happens when the move
&A.PAYGROUP... line is moved above the show and stop lines. 
It does NOT, however, occur if the move &A.PAY_END_DT... line,
or any of the others above the show and stop lines.

This is totally bizarre to me.  Why would a move effect the
performance of a stop quiet?  I am using SQR 3.0.18.1.1, Oracle
7.3.3.2 and Windows NT.  Command line is including the standard
ALLMAXES.MAX delivered with PeopleSoft.  This occurs whether running
from SQRW or from Process Scheduler.

I have demonstrated this to two other SQR programmers to make sure I'm
not cracking up.
