Well, I did come late to this party.  It depends on how you answer the input popup on line 1.  Whatever you do on line 1 I believe that you are going to reset the @sk.  It also depends on what the value of rs is of course - although I suppose you meant to use yn on lines 2 and 3?   PFME and the length of the field yn also should be considered.
