John, Yep, I think you're probably right about A-types being inherently MV. According to the documentation I mentioned before (which you read of-course ;) the S/M in an `A' type dictionary is only relevant to SQL statements and not Retrieve. So unless your front-end can interrogate the DICT and do something with the value in attr 5 to build specific WHEN expressions, I would go with the previous suggestion and convert them to D and I types, they're heaps (a quantum) more functional.
FYI - "LIST DICT" uses an I-type to interrogate the dictionary field; if you're brave (!!)) you can change this in DICT.DICT to report anything you like. S ______________________________________________________________________ From: "John Kent" if you make either on of these S, LIST DICT still displays the depth and assoc as M not S On what does it base this decision. It looks like Universe assumes all A types are inherently multivalue. ********************************************************************** This email message and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of addressed recipient(s).
