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...

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"). ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
