LOCATE PART.NBR IN RECORD<14,1> BY "AL" SETTING POS 
   ELSE NULL

INS PART.NBR BEFORE RECORD<14,POS>
INS related.data BEFORE related.field<14,POS>

No need to do the second locate.

Note: I've used the PI/Open syntax for the LOCATE statement (that's the
only one I relate to), you may have to alter the syntax slightly.

I'm trying to build a multi-value field in part number order.



I begin with LOCATE PART.NBR IN RECORD<14> BY "AL" SETTING POS ELSE POS
= 0



The first time through RECORD<14> is empty.  The second time RECORD<14>
has one value.  If PART.NBR is of greater value than what is now in
RECORD<14> then I want PART.NBR to be the second value, if it is of
lesser value than I want PART.NBR to be inserted before the value in
RECORD<14>.



I will then do a second LOCATE to see where PART.NBR is stored
(RECORD<14,x>) and use that position to insert data into associated
attributes.



My problem is that I haven't done this in a while and when I did it was
in Universe.  So not only am I suffering a senior moment I'm dealing
with a language barrier.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks.
