Re: [U2] [UV] Paragraph
Yes, you can use inline prompting to read a record, an attribute,
value or sub-value from a file. The syntax is:
F(filename,itemid{,attribute{,value{,subvalue}}}),text
It's been a while since I last used this and who knows what changes
have been made since release 7! I don't remember whether the text is
required or what it would be used for. The manual says no spaces are
allowed. Give it a try.

RE: [U2] [UV] Paragraph
Is there a way to read from a file from within a Paragraph ?
Jerry's answer is generally easiest:
A,F(filename,recordname,attribute,value,subvalue),variablename
or F(filename,recordname,attribute,value,subvalue),variablename
___
Re. Brian's program idea:
Good idea for more complicated stuff.
You can pass data back to the paragraph via
- @USER0 thru @USER4
- @USER.RETURN.CODE
- @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE
- in an active select list
- numbered 1-10 automatically
- select list 0 if the program is catalogued in VOC with a K in 4.
- You can populate an in-line prompt using the ILPROMPT() basic
function.
The paragraph calls a program that does:
DATA 'whatever'
HUSH ON
dum = ILPROMPT( 'A,This is a prompt' )
HUSH OFF
Then This is a prompt containing 'whatever' will be available to
the PA.
___
Re. VAL=TRANS(FILENAME,RECORDID,FIELDNUMBER,OPTIONS) :
Not immediately useable by a paragraph, but theoretically you could bury
it in an EVAL (or I-descriptor) then SELECT some arbitrary record in an
arbitrary file for the express purpose of running the I-descriptor
returning its result in the active select list, incidentally setting
@SELECTED to 0 or 1 along the way:
SELECT VOC SAMPLE 1 _
[ WITH [selection criteria, maybe including an EVAL ] _
RETURNING EVAL
TRANS('FILENAME','RECORDID',FIELDNUMBER,'OPTIONS')
IF @SELECTED 0 THEN ...
The technique might prove useful if the EVALs were more complicated than
a simple TRANS().
(VOC SAMPLE 1 are innocent bystanders used solely to get the query to
execute the EVAL.)
