AFAIK SSELECT BY.EXP returns a select list with the record ID and the position in the multivalued attribute. At least on ADDS Mentor it did. I didn't use it for decades because I haven't had any need for such a list, and I haven't tried it on UD yet. So I don't think anything short of a Basic program will be able to solve your problem if there is a restriction on number of values in any one record. Try some smaller records, save the list and have a look at the data. Then you could run a program to generate the same array and write it to the SAVEDLIST file. Ugly but it might actually do the job.
