RE: [U2] Friday query logic
I was trying to do what the OP was trying, extract MVs that didn't meet the multiple criteria, negative though those may be. So, I tested for items where an MV account didn't start with 52 and 29. This worked. But I added a requirement to output just those MV accounts that didn't start with either 52 or 29. I couldn't get this to output properly because multiple limiting criteria didn't work but single criteria did. So... list APOPEN WHEN ANY ACCTS UNLIKE 52...

I'm sure there's a much cleverer query-only way of doing this. But I'd just do a merge list. Select all the records into one list. Select into another all records WITH EVERY FIELD LIKE 'SF...''SH...'

Re: [U2] Friday query logic
Why not write a new dictionary item? This can set a flag if FIELD is neither SF456 nor SH456. Let's call it VALID.FIELD I would use the following A-correlative A;IF N(FIELD) = SF456 THEN ELSE IF N(FIELD) = SH456 THEN ELSE 1 That would work at least in UniData - not sure if UV supports A-correlatives. In a V- or I-type dictionary you may have to use SUBR(OCONVS...), SUBR(IFS...) or EXTRACT because it is multi-valued (I am still not that familiar with the syntax with multivalued fields), but in principle that should do the trick. Then just SELECT FILE WITH VALID.FIELD No fancy SELECT, SQL or Basic program required Brutzman, Bill wrote: Perhaps a UniBasic program would be workable. --Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jeffrey Butera Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 11:26 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Friday query logic I can't get my head around the proper query logic on this Friday.
