Re: [U2] [UV] I descriptor help
Jim,
You have two choices:
First you can pass in @RECORDxx where xx is the attribute number you want
to work on.
The other way is to not pass anything at all. The Global UV variables
@RECORD and @MV are available in your program too. You could reference
them directly. Of course this would make your routine less flexible if that
is a consideration here.
In either case remember that in UV you are dealing with the entire
Multivalued field not just one value mark position. If your intent is to
create data that is a correlated multivalue also then you must pass back a
multi-valued field not a single value.

I need to call a basic subroutine to process a field. The field in the
record is a multivalued field. How do I pass that field to the called
subroutine ?
The field is PARTNO which is defined as a MV field. I want to call a
subroutine such as SUBR('ZGET.PCODE',@RECORD,@MV). I have them associated
in
the same PH record.

RE: [U2] [UV] I descriptor help
Jim,
If that's the only attribute you're sending, you can define it like
this: SUBR('ZGET.PCODE,@RECORD25) where attribute 25 is the PartNo
field. You don't need to include the @MV in the subroutine argument list
because the subroutine will understand @MV.
There is no parsing necessary for an i-descriptor to process the
multi-valued field. Just make sure that attribute 6 of the dictionary
item is 'M'.
I hope this helps.
Karen
