RTNLIST works but it creates a select list variable not a regular dynamic

This means you can use it to segregate list processing as below:

Jeff,
AFAIR OpenSeq on UniData looks for either a path name, or if you specify an
item id it looks for an item in a directory file (not a path).
So you would need to either

Or
B) create a file pointer to /tmp (e.g. named TMP) and then
OPENS
You can use UniObjects but remember that UniObjects represents a single
stateful login session (like a terminal) and web servers both stateless and
scalable.
Which means that:
A) you cannot persist state at the server. So anything like common blocks
and record locking probably go out the window.

Bruce,
Am I right in thinking that you are consuming a web service here? You say
the response is in XML.
If so, check out whether your version of UniData supports the newer SOAP
calling (SOAPCreateRequest etc) routines (I only have UniVerse here so I
can't check). These might be more simple/appro
George,
It really matters what flavor you're running.
If you run a flavor that puts the overspill in element zero, you may be ok.
If you run a flavor that puts the overspill into the last element, that
might mess up any accesses to that element in the existing code.

Claus,
Since the MATCH operator handles alphas OR numerics and not both, this is
the closest I can get using a pattern match:
GoodEmail = ( Convert("_.1234567890","",Email) Matches
"1A0A'@'1A0A")

John,
You cannot really restrict access to individual fields within a file other
than at the dictionary (enquiry) level.
What you can do, is to:
create a new account
create local dictionary files in that account (using the same names as the
live files you need)
copy the live dictionary entrie
George,
You just use a command with a selectlist, sort of as you would at TCL.
The UniSession CreateUniSelectList provides access to the regular numbered
select lists.
For example, assuming Sess is a UniSession:
Dim ACmd As UniCommand
Dim ASelect As UniSelectList
Dim T As String

I'm assuming that you mean to return the multivalued field as a single
valued text field.
If your are on UniVerse (you don't say) try the following ITYPE expression:
CONVERT(@VM:@SVM," ", OCONV(@RECORD,"MCP"))
Where 'n' is the field number of the field to return.
Also make sure field
Seems to work...
Mind you I still recommend writing code in subroutines first and then
calling it, rather than using the other objects, other than for smaller
uses. It is so much easier to QA as you can test the routines on the server
first, write test scripts and see any error messages produced..
