I haven't played with this in UniData yet, but in UniVerse I would use both WITH (to limit the selection) and WHEN (to limit the values shown):
SORT ORDER.FILE WITH MODEL = "ABC" "XYZ" BY-EXP MODEL WHEN MODEL = "ABC" "XYZ" BREAK-ON MODEL TOTAL QTY According to UniData HELP, FMT and CNV don't require any particular ECLTYPE, but WHEN requires ECLTYPE=U. -Keith > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Burwell, Edward > Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 6:02 PM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: [U2] BY-EXP criteria in ecltype 'u' > > We are on UniData 6.1 and our ecltype is 'p'. > > I'm sure we are all familiar with a query like this: > > SORT ORDER.FILE BY-EXP MODEL BREAK-ON MODEL TOTAL QTY > PRICE TOTAL EXT > > If I want to run the above query for a specific model or > models, I can do something like this: > > SORT ORDER.FILE BY-EXP MODEL "ABC" "XYZ" BREAK-ON MODEL TOTAL QTY > > This will not only explode the MODEL attribute, it will > return only values > where the MODEL is equal to "ABC" or "XYZ".
