Kate,
This gives strange results if F1 is multi-valued so attribute 2
of the dict item needs to be: @1+SUM(F1)
Thanks,
Don Robinson

But correct me if I'm mistaking this, but doesn't this mean you need a special
extra dict entry for any column for which you want a running total? So if I
have a file with ten different fields that hold raw dollar amounts and I may
want a running total on any particular one of them, I would
Thanks, Don. I had not tried to use it with multi-values. Cheers, Kate

Can anyone explain this situation better. I've only ever used the @ to
simplify a few I-descriptors.
I have a dict item SIZE that is just the LEN(@RECORD)
So in this thread we've seen two EVAL solutions to a running total
LIST VOC SIZE EVAL @1+SIZE
LIST VOC SIZE EVAL SIZE + @2;@
In the first
I believe the expression in the second example is referred to as a compound
expression?
Can't put my finger on the exact documentation but I seem to recall that
compound expressions are broken up into parts (for want of a better term)
delimited by a ';' and each part can be referenced
I could only find doc for this in the System Description manual, where it
talks about using @ in I-type expressions, where @ is the previous one
(just resolved), @1 is result of first sentence (separated by ;), @2 is
result of 2nd sentence, etc. I could not see an example of using the
result from
You can also see what the I-type does by
DLIST yourfile yourdictitem
It's the equivalent of VLIST for I-Types...
