Re: [Hardhats-members] FileMan in Cache

[Greg Kreis]

The effect you are seeing is because you are printing multiples.  The main record's field doesn't repeat so you understand that the multiple fields that print on each line are part of that record.  If it repeated, you wouldn't be sure if you had several records, with the same value, and one multiple entry per record or one record with several records in the multiple.  Does that make sense? Bob Beckley wrote: Chris, you're right about the validity. I just made up the example on-the-fly. The real problem is that under the Cache/VMS environment, my FileMan report automatically suppresses consecutive duplicate values, which is very weird, since there is a FileMan print qualifier (;N) used to suppress them. I want to "un-suppress" them somehow. Please see my reply to Greg.

If you are trying to access this with fileman, it may not be evaluating it the way you think. I'm kind of surprised that the global list utility does not yield the difference in the subsequent nodes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy E.

Subsequent entries with the same global array are blank to the left of the "=" sign, with "new" data to the right, like so: ^ABC(1,"ID")=123^124 =321^421 =534^543 ... This apparently carries over into FileMan reports, like so: Jones, John 12344 Yes Vet 43214 No Vet Both entries are for John Jones, but his name is listed only once. Does anyone know how to make, in this example, "John Jones" appear on each and every line instead of a blank? I don't know of any print qualifiers that cover this. (Perhaps I should take it up with Intersystems?)
