Re: [U2] Need help with MV assoc/I-desc
I haven't tried this on UD but BY-EXP XEM.PERSON = usernumber may work in Pick flavour. This should only return records and data for that user number.

Re: [U2] Need help with MV assoc/I-desc
I don't know if I completely understand the issue here... I have created dynamic sorts using @USER0 values. By LOCATEing the user in XEM.PERSON, use that position to set the @USER0 value to the correct XEM.VALUE. Then use @USER0 value for the purpose of sorting the file Am I understanding your question?

Re: [U2] Need help with MV assoc/I-desc
Sorry-I'm not familiar with @USER0 Also this is thru a web interface so the user running the code in unidata isn't the same as the person running the web interface.

However they have no system definition, and can be used by the user as they see fit (hence the name). Set it in one place, retrieve it somewhere else. You could *probably* (and I've never used these variables, so can't say for certain) set @USER0 with a LOCATE in the login paragraph, and then reference it in the i-descriptor, and that value would still be there - unless another user program had trashed it in the interim.
