My 2 cents on this topic and maybe it'll trigger a UD/UV response.
D3 allows you to GET-LIST A-LIST B-LIST and you get them combined for your
next process.
Could this work for this person by pre-qualifying the 2 separate SELECT
statements into 2 lists, blah. blah, blah.

The Advanced Pick manual illustrates most all of the SYSTEM() references.
It's one of my favorite manuals as it's chapterized like all the others but
the index is pure as it contains everything. I don't like the UD/UV manuals
as you need to know which index in which book to look up your topic. If
I have a new client that i've yet to be able to break key with over the

IF A=Q THEN CLEARSELECT (sic) ; STOP
IF A=D THEN DEBUG
END
SYSTEM(14) is the length

In my 15 years of printing/using bar codes, I've concluded that it's best to
not re-invent the wheel and purchase printers that are bar code capable.
Thus, you don't really make up the bar code lines themselves, you just send
an escape sequence telling the printer what kind of code, orientation,
Only downsides to these OCONV's is that McDonalds and O'Henry lose the 2nd

CASE situation to look for MC or O' at the beginning and handle that way.
Plus maintain a list of unprogrammable exceptions.

This is a similar issue with the LOCATE and understanding what level it's
trying to locate in.
For example, let's say you just read in a REC that has attributes, values

If one of the attributes may contain the value FRED then the reference for
REC would be:

Perhaps the most glaring problem here is the level of the LOCATE. Since
