Likewise, late in the day, but on UniVerse, to extract the (lowered) 2nd value,
instead of:
      TRANS('ORDERS', ORDKEY, LINES, 'X')*_; @_*<1,1,2>
do:
      TRANS('ORDERS', ORDKEY, LINES, 'X')<1,1,2>

Reason:

   Allows you to reference this I-descriptor from another I-descriptor
   in the future.
   UV doesn't let you do that if there are multiple expressions
   separated by semi-colons.
   There is no good reason for that restriction other than internal,
   how it was implemented.

I know this is a little late in the conversation, but in Unidata you can 
specify the value in the return code portion of the TRANS function - 
TRANS('ORDERS', ORDKEY, LINES, 'X2') will return the second value of the LINES 
attr in ORDERS.
