Hi George, It's always a good idea when concatenating to be sure that you put in a character to separate the fields so that later on it's easy to take them back apart if necessary.

RE: [U2] How do we get unique records from Universe file(Table)
Your syntax does appear correct.
Sometimes U2 does odd things when you put the * in some of the commands,
like the COPY command. Try another character. If that works, then you'll
know that it was the * that messed it up. If you need the * because of the
key you're trying to build, then just go ahead and create the dict items
suggested by others. You can always delete it when you're done (but should
copy it to a personal file in case you ever need it again). Or, just leave
it in the file as someone else down the road might need it and they won't
have to create one because you put it in there!
And just in case you don't already know this, you can get help for any of
the unibasic or uniquery commands just by typing in HELP or HELP {command}
at the TCL prompt.

RE: [U2] How do we get unique records from Universe file(Table)
What are the attribute numbers in the ORDERS file where the MFG.NO and PART.NO are stored? Let's say it's 4 and 18, respectively. : SELECT ORDERS SAVING UNIQUE EVAL @RECORD4:'*':@RECORD18 should do it. The Illegal attribute name for sort: MFG.NO:'*':PART.NO error message may be saying that you don't have an I-descriptor or D-descriptor in DICT ORDERS named MFG.NO or PART.NO. Using @RECORDnnn will work without having to have an existing I- or D- descriptor in place. Here's what I get in a similar test on my system (Universe): SELECT VENDOR SAVING UNIQUE EVAL @RECORD3:'*':@RECORD4 @RECORD 3 : * : @RECORD 4 1263 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0. SAVE.LIST VEND.TEST 1263 record(s) SAVEd to SELECT list VEND.TEST. --Ron P. -Original Message- From: Chauhan, Savita [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [U2] How do we get unique records from Universe file(Table) Yes, I am trying to build a key to another file. snip It gives me following error: : Illegal attribute name for sort: MFG.NO:'*':PART.NO snip Savita Chauhan, Programmer/Analyst x:1754 Central Texas College. --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] How do we get unique records from Universe file(Table)
That's how to do a unique field, if it's a record which has to be unique, you can fake it by creating an I-Desc using @RECORD, the do the SELECT SAVING UNIQUE as mentioned. Beware, if the records are anything but very small, this is a very bad idea and you should solve it programmatically. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pingilley, Ron Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 10:46 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [U2] How do we get unique records from Universe file(Table) tax in advance -- sounds like the US Government! :) If you're doing a SELECT at tcl, try adding SAVING UNIQUE to your statement. Here's an example: SELECT ORDERS WITH ORDER.DATE 8/1 PART.NUMBER ...10456 items selected SELECT INVENTORY SAVING UNIQUE @ID ...395 items selected SAVE.LIST AUG.PARTS 1st step selected the PART.NUMBER field from the ORDERS file, with lots of duplicate part numbers showing up. The 2nd step pared that list down to just unique part numbers. --Ron P. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2004 9:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [U2] How do we get unique records from Universe file(Table) Hi, Can anybody help me in retriving the unique(distinct) records from Universe file tax in advance regards Reddy --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
