FOR EACH Customer:
FORM Customer.CustNum Customer.Name Customer.CreditLimit
new-max LIKE Customer.CreditLimit LABEL "New Credit limit".
DISPLAY Customer.CustNum Customer.Name Customer.CreditLimit.
Customer.CreditLimit =
TRUNCATE((Customer.CreditLimit * 2) / 1000 ,0) * 1000.
IF Customer.CreditLimit < 15000 THEN
Customer.CreditLimit = 15000.
DISPLAY Customer.CreditLimit @ new-max.
END.
