Andrew:
I believe I meant BSELECT. QSELECT is used to build a list of all attributes
in a
record.
In UniData, to get a select list of the contents of an attribute you would:
:BSELECT LOOKUP.TABLE "XYZ" CODE
In D3 you'd simply:
:SELECT LOOKUP.TABLE 'XYZ' CODE
Then you'd have to mess around with saving a list then getting a list with the
"(u"
option to remove redundant codes.
According to the UV documentation, and a couple of tests, you can:
:SELECT LOOKUP.TABLE 'XYZ' CODE
{n} record(s) selected to SELECT list #0.
:SELECT SomeFile SAVING UNIQUE @ID
An example looks like:
3260 Dtademo (0)-> LIST PAYSAL 04:21:07am 23 Jan 2008 PAGE 1
PAYSAL.. EMPLOYEE NAME................. %HRS ACCT. AMOUNT.. CLNT TYP CY
AK*115 SMITH, THOMAS J 90 2010 1,525.00 770 REG M
10 2030 1,525.00 770 REG
1 records listed.
3260 Dtademo (0)-> SELECT PAYSAL 'AK*115' CLIENTNO
2 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0.
3260 Dtademo (0)>> SELECT MASTER SAVING UNIQUE CLIENTNO
1 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0.
3260 Dtademo (0)>> LIST MASTER
LIST MASTER 04:24:43am 23 Jan 2008 PAGE 1
MASTER.... NAME.......................... #UNITS
770 308 114
1 records listed.
Sorry that this won't do any good if the codes (or a I-descriptor contatenation
of
them) don't exist as @IDs in another file. I don't know what to do then. Hope
this
helps.
