There used to be a version of a SELECT verb on the Rocket website. I think it
was in the white papers or technical articles section. It provided source code
to a verb called SELECTK I think it was called.
If anyone can find it, let me know. I haven't been able to find it after the
first time I read it.

George:
How about something like:
3 Dev (0)-> LSELECT ?
This will create a list of {FileName} keys for records whose field
definition value appears in a defined list.
Syntax:
LSELECT File_Name WITH Dict_Name IN LIST1 TO LIST2 [VERBOSE| -V]
Example: SELECT CUSTOMERS SAMPLE 500
SAVE.LIST MY.LIST
LSELECT SALES.ORDERS WITH CUST.NBR IN MY.LIST TO MY.LIST.2
Notes:
If a destination list is not supplied then keys will be left as the
active select list. If a source list is not supplied then the current
active select list will be used. Lists may be specified as select
buffers (0-8) or as named lists from SAVEDLISTS.
An example of this is as follows:
3 Dev (0)-> SELECT MASTER "260""605"
2 records selected to list 0.
3 Dev (0)-> SAVE-LIST MY.LIST
2 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).
3 Dev (0)-> LSELECT ARTMASTER WITH CLIENTNO IN MY.LIST VERBOSE (Parsed
Command) LSELECT ARTMASTER WITH CLIENTNO IN MY.LIST TO 0
(Selected List)
List Source MY.LIST found 2 items.
(Create Temp File)
LSELECT0031 file created with MOD = 5
(Loaded List to Temp File) - 2 items.
977 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).
(Selected Result List)
UDT.COMMAND = select ARTMASTER WITH EVAL
"TRANS('LSELECT0031',CLIENTNO,'@ID','X')" GT "" TO 0 UDT.RESPONSE =
?977 records selected to list 0.??
Destination 0
Named List 0
(Delete Temp File)
LSELECT0031 file deleted...
3 Dev (0)>>
This now has a list of (/*ARTMASTER*/) records that contain a client#
in the original select list, MY.LIST.
HTH,
Bill

Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL
Speaking of the Apple II AppleWorks was an excellent example of the days when changing the length of a field required the entire database to be picked up and layed back down again. And if you didn't have enough room to do that, you had to write it all to 35 floppy disks and then reload them. -Original Message- From: Colin Alfke To: 'U2 Users List' Sent: Thu, Oct 18, 2012 11:53 am Subject: Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL In my first programming class in high school (on apple IIe's) we liked to use G$ (with the $ pronounced as string) Colin -Original Message- From: Bill Haskett Sent: October 18, 2012 12:24 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL Sort of a carry-over from VB when a string was given a variable name with a '$' in it, usually at the end, or the beginning.

Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL
There used to be a version of a SELECT verb on the Rocket website. I
think it was in the white papers or technical articles section. It
provided source code to a verb called SELECTK I think it was called.
If anyone can find it, let me know. I haven't been able to find it after
the first time I read it.

George:
How about something like:
3 Dev (0)-> LSELECT ?
This will create a list of {FileName} keys for records whose
field definition value appears in a defined list.
Syntax:
LSELECT File_Name WITH Dict_Name IN LIST1 TO LIST2 [VERBOSE| -V]
Example: SELECT CUSTOMERS SAMPLE 500
SAVE.LIST MY.LIST
LSELECT SALES.ORDERS WITH CUST.NBR IN MY.LIST TO MY.LIST.2
Notes:
If a destination list is not supplied then keys will be left as the active
select list. If a source list is not supplied then the current active
select
list will be used. Lists may be specified as select buffers (0-8) or as
named
lists from SAVEDLISTS.
An example of this is as follows:
3 Dev (0)-> SELECT MASTER "260""605"
2 records selected to list 0.
3 Dev (0)-> SAVE-LIST MY.LIST
2 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).
3 Dev (0)-> LSELECT ARTMASTER WITH CLIENTNO IN MY.LIST VERBOSE
(Parsed Command)
LSELECT ARTMASTER WITH CLIENTNO IN MY.LIST TO 0
(Selected List)
List Source MY.LIST found 2 items.
(Create Temp File)
LSELECT0031 file created with MOD = 5
(Loaded List to Temp File) - 2 items.
977 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).
(Selected Result List)
UDT.COMMAND = select ARTMASTER WITH EVAL
"TRANS('LSELECT0031',CLIENTNO,'@ID','X')" GT "" TO 0
UDT.RESPONSE = ?977 records selected to list 0.??
Destination 0
Named List 0
(Delete Temp File)
LSELECT0031 file deleted...
3 Dev (0)>>
This now has a list of (/*ARTMASTER*/) records that contain a client# in
the original select list, MY.LIST.
HTH,
Bill

Yea, MERGE.LIST does work, but sometimes I have issues with it using it in an
EXECUTE from BASIC.
George
Actually, you could leave off the TO 3, and the FROM 3 and it would still work.
The only disadvantage, is MERGE.LIST ALWAYS does a distinct, and you can't use
it to merge on
More than one field, whereas in a JOIN you can.

Subject: Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL
This gets a little trickier, but how about:
1) SELECT PEOPLE TO 1.
2) SELECT REGISTRATION WITH EID = '1' SAVING UNIQUE PID.
3) SELECT PEOPLE TO 2.
4) MERGE.LIST 1 DIFF 2 TO 3.
5) SAVE.LIST XXX FROM 3.
This does assume that steps 1 and 2 actually return at least 1 key.
MERGE.LIST is an amazingly powerful command. It only works with the native
UniData (UniVerse?) syntax as do the specific list #s, but it is easy enough to
use the lower case verbs to force the individual commands to run in native mode.

Ok.

Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL
It looks like you have hit the point where code is needed because the SELECT just cannot handle all the conditions cleanly. My rule of thumb is: if I am going to need ANY code, do the whole thing in a program. Experience has taught me that at some point, someone will want to tweak things, and if it is already in a program, I will not migrating my Paragraphs (or whatever) into a program and them abandoning the paragraph. This may mean that I have REALLY simple program initially, but all too often, they grow over time. It also limits the number of places you need to look for "that piece of code that is doing something".

I have file1 - "people" that has @ID of PID I have file2 - "registration" that has @ID of PID+EID+RID (EID = event id, RID = registration id) I want to select people who are not in the registration file with an EID of "1". With an SQL statement - I could join the two, then do the select or use a subquery (I'm on UV 10.0.2 - not sure if sub querys work) Just curious how this could be done with UV Native, and without involving a program. I first tried "SELECT REGISTRATION WITH EID = '1' SAVING UNIQUE PID" -> "NSELECT PEOPLE" But that returned 0 - since the NSELECT only works off the current select list, not the whole file Yes, I could create a temporary file, then select off that Yes, I could read each people record, then loop through registration to see if it doesn't exist. Both of the above require programming I guess I could create a subroutine that does the looping through registration, and put that into an I descriptor - looking for another option.

Re: [U2] Selection Suggestions for using UV instead of SQL
Do it in more than one command? SELECT REGISTRATION WITH EID = '1' SAVING UNIQUE PID NSELECT PEOPLE Or am I missing something?
