Re: [U2] Running total
Kate,
This gives strange results if F1 is multi-valued so attribute 2
of the dict item needs to be: @1+SUM(F1)
Thanks,

Are you looking for @1? This gives a column containing running total (I

Hi,
As far as I know, the only way to do this in U2 is to use either a common
variable or one of the @USERn variables in a subroutine to
accumulate the result. Handling multi-values is not hard (as below).
Getting this to work for breakpoint lines is a bit more
awkward.
For example, using UniVerse's demonstration sales database
(INITIALIZE.DEMO), I can create an I-type named ACCUM that reads
I
subr('ACCUMULATE', ITEM.TOTAL)
MD2
Cumulative
8R
M
BOUGHT
and a program catalogued as ACCUMULATE
function accumulate(item)
common /total/tot
if @ni = 1 then tot = 0
x = ''
n = dcount(item, @vm)
for i = 1 to n
tot += item1,i
x1,i = tot
next i
return (x)
end
I can then do

Re: [U2] Running total
But correct me if I'm mistaking this, but doesn't this mean you need a special
extra dict entry for any column for which you want a running total? So if I
have a file with ten different fields that hold raw dollar amounts and I may
want a running total on any particular one of them, I would need ten more dict
items, one for each ?
Or am I reading this solution wrong?

Re: [U2] Running total
I believe the expression in the second example is referred to as a compound expression? Can't put my finger on the exact documentation but I seem to recall that compound expressions are broken up into parts (for want of a better term) delimited by a ';' and each part can be referenced throughout the entire expression by an @ number e..g. @1 refers to the first part and the nth part is @n etc. So for: LIST VOC SIZE EVAL SIZE + @2;@ My take on how this works is the the first part of the expression (SIZE + @2) can be referenced later on as @1, The second part is referenced as @ (instead of @2) and I believe is used to refer to the result of the entire expression (sum of all the parts). Can @ in this case also be referenced as @2? It probably could but would break the expression. Therefore the reference to @2 is causing the expression to grab the entire result using contents of @ (via @2 thus keeping it separate to @) and add it to SIZE which then becomes the new result (@) of the expressions and the whole thing is repeated.

Re: [U2] Running total
I could only find doc for this in the System Description manual, where it talks about using @ in I-type expressions, where @ is the previous one (just resolved), @1 is result of first sentence (separated by ;), @2 is result of 2nd sentence, etc. I could not see an example of using the result from the previous record, but it works. BTW, with multi-values, ADDS(@1,F26) works. V1 of first record adds to V1 of 2nd, etc. I can't think of where we could use it, but it depends on your file structure.
