Re: [U2] Correlative referencing multi-value field in another file
The problem is not with multivalues in F correlatives. The problem is with Translates TO multivalues in F correlatives. In an F-correlative it replaces the multivalues with spaces. In an I descriptor, in Universe, when you do a translate, it internally LOWERS all system delimiter's prior to returning the result, so your multivalue is replaced with a Sub Value mark. You have to RAISE the result in order to get it back to multi value. Will --- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] Correlative referencing multi-value field in another file
Hi Rod, I too have had the 'pleasure' of F and A correlatives. Once upon a time, a nice man named Dick Pick, who created Pick basic, issued a challenge. He said that there was no way in native Pick to access the last value of a multivalued field and challenged anyone to find a way. Enter Me. 'A' correlatives were new at that time and I created a three step dict. Dict "step1" converted value marks into "1" 's. Dict "step2" summed those 1's into a number, and Dict "step3" used that sum as an index for the value and BINGO last value of a multivalued field in native Pick! I did the 'victory dance' big time while singing "feeling stronger" from the "Rocky" movies :-D !!! And then proceeded to pack up my solution and send the results to Dick. Dick replied to me that the challenge was only for F correlatives (ahh, shucks..) but that he would publish my solution since nobody else had ever done so yet. "Publish" as in "paper" before the internet became widely used. So, that was my 15 seconds of fame Today, I prefer SUBR type dicts over all else if it takes me more than a couple of seconds to try to figure out what to do. However, I'm currently working for a client with a..Legacy Pick system without SUBR's. gaa...

RE: [U2] Correlative referencing multi-value field in another file
My suggestion would be to use the Prime style I-descriptors instead of the cryptic Pick style correlative. With an I-descriptor you could simply SUM the field. If you could decipher what your correlative does (my guess is reading field 8 of the TWIP file), an appropriate I-descriptor could be made pretty easily.
