And nowadays we are lucky to have additional choices, like UniVerse
allowing you to key a space in and after pressing <ENTER> it gets
removed and we have the same thing.
I like this technique better sometimes because in some versions of
PICK/BASIC, control characters show up as a '.' in the Editor. You look
at it, and without typing some more commands, you cannot differentiate
between a control character and an actual period. But it's good to know
multiple techniques in case we have to work on multiple systems.

The dots were just there to keep the numbered list going,
The same I use dots in the Editor to enter blank lines. Later I go to the
top and do R/.//50 to remove the dot.

What are the periods in 3 and 4 for?
Did you try removing those?

Just to make sure, you're wanting FIELD 178 and the first value of that
field. Correct? Because you have a length of 1, left justified I want to
make sure you're not looking for the first character of the 178th field.
Maybe if you showed what you're wanting and what you're getting, instead,
then we'd be sure to give you an answer that makes sense.

This is the only way to do accomplish the defined task in UniData.
Maybe "@RECORD<178,1>" is the preferred method in UV.

UniVerse.
I want to create a dictionary item that extract value <178,1>
I thought
1. I
2. EXTRACT(@RECORD,178,1,0)
3. .
4. .
5. 1L
6. S
Would do but it does not give me the desired result. Any suggestions?
