Works for me,  strange.
Let me just check I know what you are trying to do.

You have an record with a mulitvalued attribute and you want to turn the mv
attribute into a list of items.

IF so this will also work.

QSELECT FILE "ITEM" SAVING fieldnumber

(you must use the field number not a dict.)

Or

SELECT FILE "ITEM" BY.EXP dict SAVING dict.



With qselect you must specify the field and with a select you must explode
the attribute and specify the dict.

Regards
Andy

Tried that.  No dice.  What I got was the key to the record and
extraneous multivalue information (pointers).

Try exploding the attribute

SELECT FILE.A 'Key' BY.EXP F1 SAVING F1

Subject: [U2] [UV] Select returning mv'd list

Universe 9.6, I want to select a record from a file and return a mv'd
list of information in attribute 1, each attribute as a separate list
element.  On Unidata, I can:
 
SELECT FILE.A 'key' F1
 
...and it'll return all the values in F1 as individual items in the
active select list.  On Universe, this does not work.  So I tried: 
 
SELECT FILE.A 'key' SAVING UNIQUE F1
 
...and I get all the items, but they come in one attribute, mv'd, not
split out on each line like Unidata would.
 
I've also tried QSELECT, but apparently the option to QSELECT a single
attribute from a file is not supported here here.
 
How do you select a record from a file and return a mv'd list from an
attribute in that record?
