If you are looking for something quick then create a dict item with the match criteria you want to search for, the following example is based of the UniData demo account file TAPES
Add an item: AE DICT TAPES MTYPE Top of "MTYPE" in "DICT TAPES", 6 lines, 33 characters. *--: p 001: I 002: "'C'":@VM:"'R'" 003: 004: MY TYPES 005: 10L 006: S Bottom. Then use the MATCH keyword on you query statement. LIST TAPES WHEN CATEGORIES MATCH MTYPE CATEGORIES 11:06:14 Mar 13 2009 1 TAPES.....

IBM U2 Client Support Team 1-800-729-3553 [email protected] "Brutzman, Bill" <[email protected]> Sent by: [email protected] 03/13/2009 08:39 AM Please respond to [email protected] To <[email protected]> cc Subject [U2] - UniBasic String Search I need to examine fields for perhaps one thousand part.numbers looking for tech specs that contain character strings like "MIL" "Spec" "SPEC" "-14" etc While I can do this with commands like... execute 'SELECT IM WITH OP.SPEC LIKE "...-14..." ', this technique is awkward since I have a few dozen strings to look for... I have the IBM tech manual describing the MATCH operator and the MATCHFIELD function. Is there a handy UniBasic method to handle this or should I write a little program to do this myself? Fixes would be appreciated. --Bill ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg] ------- u2-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
