Subject: [U2] Doing Multiple Selects in BASIC and combining the lists

This may be an easy one, or a hard one, however, I realized I don't
recall
ever having to do this until today, or I could just be tired...

How can you do a SELECT from two different files in a BASIC program and
then
combine the lists of ID's so that you can do a READNEXT on it?

I ask this because I believe by default that Universe does not store the
select lists as dynamic arrays.

For example:

EXECUTE \SELECT FILE1 WITH AMOUNT = "112.50"\ RTNLIST FILE1_LIST
EXECUTE \SELECT FILE2 WITH AMOUNT = "112.50"\ RTNLIST FILE2_LIST

...Code to combine FILE1_LIST and FILE2_LIST into FINAL_LIST...

REANEXT ID FROM FINAL_LIST THEN
do something
NEXT ID

I am using Universe 10.3.x on AIX 5.3.  I'm in a PICK flavor account.
