Take a look at ITYPE() However... I usually just rewrite the logic in UniBasic. I have no control over the dictionaries and don't want to risk one of the report writers changing a dictionary item and breaking one of my programs. If it's complicated, then it probably belongs in a subroutine that gets called from both the I-Descriptor and the UniBasic program. -- Wendy Smoak ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
