No problem.

Set up the 'D' dict records of  ADATE ACTIONS OACTIONS and BYS
to have the same  assoc field  say 'X'  and keep your  PH-records.

The you may think of the 'X' as the 'Controlling association code'  and
the  AS_4 and AS_4A as the 'Dependent association codes'

The 'X' describes the 1-1 relation between the values in the fields and
the  PH entries  are not much more than a shorthand  notation for listings.

Hi Bill,

 Is it possible to assocate the same dictionary item (field definition) to
 more than one association phrase?  I'm doing some conversion work and
there
 are several associations that include some of the same dictionaries.

How can this ever be necessary?  If item A has a value by value relationship
with item B and item B is similarly related to item C, what situation can
exist where the values of A and C are not related in this same way?

Thanks Mats.  Actually I simply changed the association in the dictionaries
to be:

Dictionary List: DICT CHANGES  Prepared on: 07:03:38am  01 Dec 2005
Dict Name.. Type # Col-Heading Field-Definition. Conversion.. Format
Assoc...

ADATE   D4 ACTDATE   D2   9R
M AS_4
ACTIONS D7 ACTIONS TAKEN  63T
M AS_4
BYS D8 ACTIONS BYTUSERS;C;;1  20L
M AS_4
OACTIONSI  ACTIONS TAKEN   @RECORD7 30T
M AS_4 (from AS_4A)

and left the phrases alone.  This is a bit counter-intuitive though.  It's
as though there's no fixed relationship between attribute 7 and the phrase.
In fact, I changed the dictionaries to be:

Dictionary List: DICT CHANGES  Prepared on: 07:43:03am  01 Dec 2005
Dict Name.. Type # Col-Heading Field-Def Conversion.. Format
Assoc.

ADATE   D4 ACTDATE   D2   9R M X
ACTIONS D7 ACTIONS TAKEN  63TM X
BYS D8 ACTIONS BYTUSERS;C;;1  20LM X
OACTIONSI  ACTIONS TAKEN   @RECORD7 30TM X

and left the phrases alone as (no 'X' phrase)   :

Dictionary List: DICT CHANGES  Prepared on: 07:38:30am  01 Dec 200
Dict Name.. Type # Col-Heading Field-Definition...
AS_4PH ADATE ACTIONS BYS
AS_4A   PH ADATE OACTIONS BYS

This is the result of the query:

LIST CHANGES '131081' DESC AS_4 AS_4A

CHANGES 131081

Martin: The ACTIONS and OACTIONS are synonyms for the same field, so
presently ADATE(4) would have a C;8;7 in it while ACTIONS(7), OACTIONS(7),
and BYS(8) would have a D;4 in it.  This is one of the painful (and oldest)
nuisances with the U2 products, where multiple dictionaries need to be
created for different output scenarios.

Thanks again,

Bill
