Re: [U2] Unidata WHEN/ASSOCIATED
Traditionally WHEN is an output limiter and WITH is a selector, so they occupy different branches of the process. But with a SELECT SAVING that difference becomes blurred, so I would vote for a WHEN to be allowed in that case. Of course on unidata it would no doubt have to be on some dumb UDT.OPTION to preserve compatibility.

Re: [U2] Unidata WHEN/ASSOCIATED
You can already return record ids with a SELECT that have some multi-value which matches, just by using the WITH command. -Original Message- From: Jeffrey Butera To: u2-users Sent: Fri, Mar 8, 2013 12:49 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Unidata WHEN/ASSOCIATED On 03/08/2013 03:47 PM, David A.

Re: [U2] Unidata WHEN/ASSOCIATED
Jeff, This could be a good enhancement. How do you want it to work? 1. SELECT just the IDs or whatever the SAVING clause points to. Or 2. SELECT the IDs,MV pointers that match But until it goes through I'm sure someone has already written the code to do it in a UniBasic program. David A.
