The index was already created so just had to find the right one amongst the others and all was good. The only thing I'd add is that reading the index file directly like that is probably a bad idea ... two ways round it ... Either do a SELECT ... EQ ... which will read the index for you, or if you're in BASIC use the READINDEX statement. Both of them should go straight to the index so (a) it will be fast, and (b) you don't run the danger of corrupting the index by having an accident with the index file. At the end of the day, I'm always happier using official constructs rather than a cheat workaround if they're going to be almost identical.

[U2] [UV Retrieve] Selecting file based on partial key
Dear U2 List, Is the below at all possible in universe retrieve please? I didn't think it was but there're a lot more clever people out there than I plus it's been too long since I was doing this regularly and cannot remember if it is or not. I cannot see anything obvious in the manuals. We have a file in a production environment with 5477108 records whose @ID/Key are all '9-digit-account-number':'4-digit-sequence-number'. Q. Is it possible to obtain a list of @ID's based on a separate saved list of '9-digit-account-number'? The remaining record fields are all out of scope for the selection apart from an internal date in attribute 4 but that can be interrogated later. Is it possible to construct a kind of reverse select based on my existing saved-list and pass this data into a dict item for the account number? I've tried numerous permutations of this but have yet to find the answer. Or can I do something lie an sql SELECT FILENAME WHERE ACC_NBR = 'GET-LIST ACC_LIST'? How is this done on a (live) normal type 18 UV file? Of course I can always whip up some basic code to do this but it is production and getting it there will take a while. (and no I didn't design the file layout ...) Many thanks in advance. Regards, Peter --- Note: This email (inc all attachments) is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only.

Re: [U2] [UV Retrieve] Selecting file based on partial key
hi peter, I suggest this : 1) build a indexfile based on ACC_NBR 2) set a VOC file pointer directly on the index file FILENAME.INDEX0 F I__FILENAME/INDEX.000 (or other physical filename) for selection 3) GET.LIST ACC_LIST 4) QSELECT FILENAME.INDEX0 the active select list is the content of FILENAME.INDEX0 ... the keys you need I hope this help manu Manu Peter Cheney peter.che...@firstmac.com.au a écrit : Dear U2 List, Is the below at all possible in universe retrieve please?

Re: [U2] [UV Retrieve] Selecting file based on partial key
I meant to add what was the original selection criteria...so you could write a SQL SELECT with a join to filter out the records you want to include/exclude...
