What Brian Leach said. I wrote a MAKE.LIST verb that creates an active select list from the contents of the command line. (I think some versions of Pick have that, maybe by a different name. Can't remember.) The program loads a dynamic array from Brian's Get(ARG.)s, then does FORMLIST. The voc'S MAKE.LIST verb generated when CATALOGing the program needs to be edited with a "K" included in <4> to "k"eep the list active when the program terminates.
Or, depending on how general or specific you need the solution, combine Brian's answer in your program. Instead of looping through READNEXTs, loop through GET(ARG.)s. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Gallen > Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 10:54 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [U2] Passing a SELECT ID if it's not in the file... > > I have a paragraph that does... > > SELECT FILE WITH @ID = <<TARGET>> > RUN PROGRAM > > {Program} > LOOPS THROUGH READNEXT ID'S > IF ID IS IN FILE IGNORE OTHERWISE PUT IN FILE > > This works fine if <<TARGET>> exists in the FILE. > > How would can I force the <<TARGET>> to be in an active > select list if it's not in the file? > > Keeping in mind this is in a paragraph. > > I tried: > > 0001: PA > 0002: * <<A,Enter ID>> > 0003: EDIT-LIST > 0004: DATA I > 0005: DATA <<Enter ID>> > 0006: DATA FI > 0007: GET-LIST > 0008: LIST FILE > > But I'm stuck at the EDIT-LIST.
