To those that think I should write an I-desc, I would, the problem is that I can't. I don't have the privileges. I'm an end user trying my best at using the tools presented to me. Plus my data needs vary so much I don't want to clutter up the dictionaries with a zillion odd I-desc that I would have to ask our overly taxed IT department to create.
To RayW or anyone else who knows:
Tell me more about this AS function in relation to EVAL. I couldn't find it in the Uniquery or Unibasic help. Anything would be helpful.
Still learning, Kevin

I can't tell you exactly where it is in the manual, but you can use the same field modifiers (TOTAL, CALC, BREAK.ON, etc.) and field qualifiers (FMT, CONV, COL.HDG, AS, etc.) with EVAL as you can with named fields.
Field qualifiers, in particular, override dictionary specifications for named fields, or supply them for EVAL expressions.
AS gives the EVAL expression a "field name" that can be used elsewhere in the sentence.
CONV specifies a conversion specification.
COL.HDG specifies a column heading. Multi-line with 'L', e.g. COL.HDG "Post'L'Code"
FMT specifies a formatting specification.
SINGLE.VALUE specifies that the field will be treated as single-valued.
MULTI.VALUE specifies that the field will be treated as multi-valued.
ASSOC places the (multi-valued) field into an existing association.
ASSOC.WITH places the (multi-valued) field into a temporary association with another multi-valued field.
