Mark, I'm curious where you got the syntax for:

I can't use TFILE;X;10;10 because UV doesn't support indexing (even

Not for nothin' but there are some pretty ugly I-type dict
items with all the SUBS, EQS, REUSE etc stuff.
Before I disagree with some points, let me concur that I-types'
MV-handling can be ugly.
Although Prime traded the ugly correlative syntax for the inherent
simplicity
Ben,
What's so ugly about them? In the old days, that was all we had. It's funny,
back when we ran Universe, I-types were faster at doing the same job than
S-types. Now, on Jbase (which also supports both), ther S-types are faster. Go
figure...

This is only for Universe, not for Unidata,
because Unidata doesn't have the Pick-style A types.
Using an A (or S) type of attribute definition
in Universe, you can extract a

In case you don't find it, he's the nub of it.
Thanks .. I was able to find this in the System Description PDF on-line ..
it's just a *tiny* bit more detailed than what you've said here ..
What I'd really like now is if anyone had a manual on the syntax of
I-descriptor attribute 2 and
I believe there is a chapter (chapter 5: universe file dictionaries) in the
universe system description manual that covers the syntax of I-Type
expressions. It's a good 15 or so pages that covers what you can /cant use.
There is also a smaller section in that chapter that goes into field 8

Great!!! .. Way more detailed than the System Description setion 5 ..
It actually looks like a UniData spec (and I'm working with UniVerse in this
case) ..
Specifically, I'm looking to pull a single Multi-Value ( like
Why can't you use an I-type? In /FD try F6 F6 and enter the I-type
argument in Derived Field. Worst case (and really not a good idea
though I've done it), create the DICT item in FD and manually edit it
from TCL.
Best,

Uni_VERSE_ I-types are probably best explained in the
Uni_DATA_ manual.
They have a much better introduction if you are new to the topic and it
is mostly applicable to UV.
The UD manual (can't remember which) probably calls them Virtual
Attributes or V-items. Start there, then check the UV
Chuck,
SB+ normally generates 'A' types and an SB 'Z' type. As far as operation
goes, it works with D I types quite well. If you build native D I type
dicts outside SB+ then /FD will normally not let you build _new_ Z types
over the top.
You can force SB to build an I type by specifying
Can someone point me to the UniVerse manual (rev 9.5) that shows the syntax
and rules on building D-type, A-type, and I-type DICTionary items? .. I've
tried searching through the PDF's and can't find it (and since I'm primarily
a SystemBuilder guy, I've never had to before ;)
Thanks in advance
check pfd labeled system description under universe file dictionaries.
