Re: [U2] SQL a possibility?

For the SAVING syntax to work, you need to use a Pick-like flavour version of 
SELECT.  Something like this:

ASELECT
0001 V
0002 SELECT
0003 Q
0004 GHKSXA

Note the A processor mode in attribute 4.

Yes...that worked  (After created the ASELECT as below).

ASELECT FILENAME ITEMNAME SAVING SWITCHIT
SAVE-LIST listname

DICT FILENAME SWITCHIT
0001: I

I Didn't really want to do that. I opted for the COMO solution, then
used the editor to delete out all the TOF's, then saved what was left
in SAVEDLISTS. At that point I did a GET.LIST, followed by a SELECT
on the file that the ID's were to point to. This weeded out all of the
blank lines that the editor was not able to remove.

Moving over to Excel and deleting columns would have been choice #2

RE: [U2] SQL a possibility?

2009-04-01 Thread Laurie Blain
George,



 I use to pull a little trick saving a list of ids to the SAVEDLISTS file.

Think of the SAVEDLISTS as any file name and your list as a Record.

Within the Record write each cleaned Id on a new line.

There is a limit to the number of Ids you can place in each record.

The first record you save should be name001. After you hit your limit save
the

record and start name002. When you are finished writing your ids use

a GET.LIST name to have an active save list within your program.



To view a SAVEDLISTS name just create a SAVE.LIST and list the

SELECT SAVEDLISTS name then LIST SAVEDLISTS by Id this will give you a way to
test

for any issues. If your list has name001 name002 name003 look at name002 for
the limit.

Also check your SAVEDLISTS structure some admins have all SAVEDLISTS in one
area
others each user has there own SAVEDLISTS.
Just another way to control the task.
