Re: JBase - Dictionary Item to Retrieve Entire Record

[Charlie Noah]

LOWER doesn't work on 3.x, but probably would on 4.x. In this case, just using @RECORD (which does work on 3.x) would probably be OK. Blank lines would be skipped, but in a log record, that would probably be OK, even desirable.

I have not tested it on other releases. To be perfectly honest, you chose the wrong data structure; instead of attributes, the log entries should be multi-values which would allow you to create a plain old dictionary item pointing to the attribute that contains the data.

Some sample records from the log file might look like this: 123456 001 9/12/2014 Spoke with Bob on the phone. 002 Confirmed date of departure.  Reminded 003 Bob to arrive early. 004 9/14/2014 Emailed updated early arrival 005 reminder to Bob. 273647 001 8/15/2014 Sally called about pet policy. 002 8/17/2014 Mailed pet policy to Sally at 003 both addresses. I'd like to have a dictionary item WHOLE.LOG that returns the entire log for a given customer so I can do something like: LIST CUSTOMER "123456" WHOLE.LOG and get back something like: customerID . . .     Whole Log . . . . . . . . 123456               9/12/2014 Spoke with Bob on the phone.                      Confirmed date of departure.  Reminded                      Bob to arrive early.                      9/14/2014 Emailed updated early arrival                      reminder to Bob. Thanks again for looking!
