Hi Chuck,
I take it QM does not support this use of the @n buffers, then?
If I may change the subject slightly, how about nested compound
I-descriptors?
We have the @n variables but they are local to the specific I-type
expression and hence don't persist from one evaluation to the next. We
resolved the running total problem by adding a CUMULATIVE keyword that works
like TOTAL, etc including sub-totals at breakpoints and so on.
Yes, we support nested compound I-types to any reasonable depth. This is
actually fairly easy once you make the @n variables local to the expression.
Sort of related, we also fixed one of my real annoyances about U2 by
allowing a TRANS() to retrieve something that is itself an I-type. And....
(perhaps further discussion should be on the OpenQM Google group).
