RE: [U2] [UD] Select on an attribute
I could write a subr to fetch these, but I don't know how to do it with uniquery only. I think Noah is saying that he wants to... SELECT all File2 items if FILE1_ID can be found in the savedlist containing the IDs from File1. In this case, won't BLAH still contain IDs from File1? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Bullock Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 10:18 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] [UD] Select on an attribute (If BLORP is your savedlist from File1) GET.LIST BLORP TO 1 SELECT FILE2 SAVING FILE1_ID TO 2 MERGE.LIST 1 INTERSECTION 2 TO 3 SAVE.LIST BLAH FROM 3 BLAH will contain the IDs you want, if I understand your question correctly.) --- Noah Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Select question: Assume that I have 2 files, such as customer and invoice File1: has 1 attribute, ID File2: has 2 attributes, ID and FILE1_ID I have a savedlist with ID numbers from file1.

RE: [U2] [UD] Select on an attribute
Noah, Not directly, but *if* File2 is indexed by its FILE1_ID attribute there are a couple ways. Assume that I have 2 files, such as customer and invoice File1: has 1 attribute, ID File2: has 2 attributes, ID and FILE1_ID I have a savedlist with ID numbers from file1. I want to select all records in file2 which have FILE1_ID matching the savedlist I already have. Is this possible? 1. In basic, something like: OPEN 'File2' to F2.FVAR GETLIST [list of File1 IDs] F2ID.LIST = '' LOOP WHILE READNEXT F1.ID SELECTINDEX 'FILE1_ID', F1.ID FROM F2.FVAR TO 10 READLIST SUBLIST FROM 10 THEN F2ID.LIST-1 = SUBLIST REPEAT Now F2ID.LIST has what you want. I'll leave it to you to come up with variations on the theme that suits you. My own generic solution is a utility XSELECT verb (with Keep active flag in VOC4) which takes an active select list of indexed values and generates an active list of corresponding primary ids. In this case: GET.LIST [list of File1 IDs] XSELECT File2 FILE1_ID I wish UV had that verb out of the box. 2. QSELECT, if 1st you set up a voc pointer to the normally hidden type-25 I_File2/INDEX.nnn file (let's call it FILE1.FIE2.IDX in the VOC) : GET.LIST [list of File1 IDs] QSELECT FILE1.FILE2.IDX Chuck Stevenson --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] [UD] Select on an attribute
My thought on this would be to do the following: 1. EDIT-LIST list1 2. add xx at the end (this will force a @am to the end of your last select list entry) 3. put the following DICT entry in the second file call it MULTIMATCH, I TRANS(SAVEDLISTS,listname,-1,'X') ; IF INDEX(@1,ATTR2:@vm,1)=0 THEN ELSE Y 4. SELECT FILE2 WITH MULTIMATCH=Y Of course, you would need to do this for each savedlist you pull from list1 and...I'm not sure if that I-desc will work in Unidata.

RE: [U2] [UD] Select on an attribute
If you changed TRANS(SAVEDLISTS,listname,-1,'X') ; IF INDEX(@1,ATTR2:@vm,1)=0 THEN ELSE Y to TRANS(SAVEDLISTS,listname,-1,'X') ; IF INDEX(@1:@vm,ATTR2:@vm,1)=0 THEN ELSE Y you could elminate step 1 and 2, but you will still need to edit the DICT entry each time to put in the listname, unless you make it a name that you always use when you save the list.
