Hi James.

To do it in a dictionary item you just need a correlative (derived field, I-descriptor) defined within FILE1 whish contains the following:

F;1;(TFILE2;X;;12)

This will list whatever is in attribute <12> of FILE2 using the value in attribute <1> of FILE1 as the key - whether that is multi-valued or not.

Best regards
Colin.

Subject: [U2] TRANSLATING LAST VALUE FROM A SINGLE VALUE


I'm attempting to do a translate and was wondering if anyone might have a suggestion.

Attribute (or Field) 1 of File1 is a multi-valued foreign key to the Primary Key in File2. File2 contains a Date in Attribute 12. I want the latest date in Attribute 12 of File2 of all the values of Attribute 1 in File1.


This is pulling 1 record from Attribute 1 of File1. How can I display the Date (Attribute 12 of File2)?

LIST FILE1 1 EVAL "@RECORD<1,DCOUNT(TRANS(FILE2,@RECORD<1>,'12','X'),@VM)>"
