I always stumble at the point of using IENS. No offense to Toad, but the system drives me crazy!
I want to add new records to a given file via UPDATE^DIE. But I want to specify the record number. So I set up an FDA that looks like this: FDA(2706.3,"1,",.01)="My Name" FDA(2706.3,"1,",1)="Kevin" FDA(2706.3,"1,",2)="Toppenberg" (to stuff data into record/IEN# 1) But when I do this, I get back an error message that "Record doesn't exist). When I look at the documentation for IENS in the Fileman programmers manual, its not clear. At one point it states that an IENS is a comma-delimited set of records numbers (IEN's). Then it also describes using place holders, such as "+1", "?1", or "?+1" for looking for preexisting records. If the above FDA was FDA(2706.3,"+1,",.01)="My Name" FDA(2706.3,"+1,",1)="Kevin" FDA(2706.3,"+1,",2)="Toppenberg" it work, but it would just add the record to the end of the list. How do I specify to put a new record into the number that I want? Thanks Kevin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
