Not for nothin' but there are some pretty ugly I-type dict items with all the SUBS, EQS, REUSE etc stuff. I don't have an example, but I worked on a client's system that was converted from UV to UD and all the 10 line dicts were converted to the UD 6/7 ones (saving the original 10 line dict in field 10 of the UD one) and 002 became pretty excessive and unreadable. They did work though.
IMHO, having many years of experience with UD/UV/D3/MCD/ULT and native dict items, UV's is the most advanced as it can support both the 10 line that I (we) grew up on and the 6/7 line UD style. my 6/7 cents. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rosenberg Ben" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 4:15 AM Subject: RE: [U2] building DICT items > Chuck wrote > > Specifically, I'm looking to pull a single Multi-Value > > ( like EXTRACT(@RECORD,5,5,0) ) using an A-type > > 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 single value by doing > a translate back into the primary file. > > It's ugly but it works. > > Replace "a" and "v" with the real attribute number > and value number. > > >ED DICT filename FIELD-a.v > New record. > ----: I > 0001= A > 0002= 0 > 0003= > 0004= > 0005= > 0006= > 0007= > 0008= Tfilename;X;;a,v > 0009= L > 0010= 20 > 0011= > Bottom at line 10. > ----: FI > "FIELD-a.v" filed in file "DICT filename". > > There is also an alternate syntax, with the > value number appended to the translate opcode, > in which case line 8 would look like > > 0008= Tfilename;Xv;;a > > For example, you could get value 9 of attr 35 of the INV file > by doing either > TINV;X;;35,9 > or > TINV;X9;;35 > > If possible, avoid this form and just use a simple "I" descriptor, > or, if you're on SB+, just use /FD to define field number "a.v" > (for example, field number "35.9"). > > > The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged > and confidential information and is intended only for the use of > the individual and/or entity identified in the alias address of > this message.
