Re: [U2] Inverting/Pivoting a table
David, How many rows are there in your source flat file? If you found an intrinsic function to do what you are after, what next? What would you do with the resulting in-memory array?

The destination file must already exist. REFORMAT uses the first attribute named in the UniQuery statement as the record ID in the destination file. The remaining attributes in the UniQuery statement become record attributes in the destination file. UniQuery prompts for the name of the destination file after you enter the REFORMAT command.

Columns become rows Rows become columns We call them attributes and item-ids, but it's the same difference -Original Message- From: Dave Laansma dlaan...@hubbardsupply.com To: U2 Users List u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Mon, Sep 10, 2012 1:12 pm Subject: Re: [U2] Inverting/Pivoting a table Excerpt from page 1-161 of the UniQuery Commands Reference available at http://www.rocketsoftware.com/u2/products/unidata/resources/manuals/unid ata-7.3-documentation/uniquery-commands-reference/view REFORMAT Syntax REFORMAT filename attributes [selection_criteria] Description The UniQuery REFORMAT command copies record attributes you specify from one data file to another data file. The destination file must already exist. REFORMAT uses the first attribute named in the UniQuery statement as the record ID in the destination file. The remaining attributes in the UniQuery statement become record attributes in the destination file. UniQuery prompts for the name of the destination file after you enter the REFORMAT command.
