These might be useful. To save typing, I decided to use Q for QUOTE, C for COMMA and T for TAB. And since I thought it likely that I would use QUOTE COMMA QUOTE (or "Q C Q") a lot, I also set up D (for DELIMITER) as below. Also q and d which use double quotes.
Top of "D" in "VOC", 20 lines, 108 characters. 001: I 002: "','" 003: 004: ',' 005: 3L 006: S I should point out that it's been my practice to remove the "Q" and "P" commands because otherwise I stumble over them. Usually just after a big session in the editor, when my mind is in that problem-focused state where it takes a while to realise just what the heck happened. Maybe it's something in our setup, but I have ITEM.ID in DICT.DICT and get an '"ITEM.ID" not found' error if I try and use it in a query. There is the same error if I try and use D/CODE (which is in DICT.PICK) in a query. Quite apart from that, on our system these files are read-only; so what I do is put the items in DICT VOC, compile them by using them in a query, and then copy them to VOC so they are available for every file. It's not really worth anything - speed of machines these days, etc. etc. - but using CHAR(9) results in slightly longer compiled code. I really do need to get a life, don't I?
