TRANS( file, mv.ids, mv.target.fld, 'X'); CONVERT( @SM, '~', @); SUBR( '-FIELDS', @, '~',1,1) or SUBR( '-FIELDS', CONVERT( @SM, '~', TRANS( file, mv.ids, mv.target.fld, 'X' )), '~', 1, 1 ) Explanation: Since FIELDS & the other multivalued handling subroutines break things out by and other delimiters, you can't get it to act On the delimiters themselves.
So convert the system-delimiter you are interested in (in your case subvalue marks, I believe) to a not-system-delimiter that will not appear in the data and act on that. cds P.S. I don't have UD, only UV, so I'll leave it to the UD gurus to correct any subtle distinctions. P.P.S. I often find it useful for debugging purposes, to temporarilly cocnvert alll the delimiters to visible characters, just to see what I'm dealing with: 01: I 02: [some buggy multi-(sub)valued calc] 03: MD2 04: 05: 10R 06: M temporarilly becomes 01: I 02: [some buggy multi-(sub)valued calc];CONVERT( @IM:@AM:@VM:@SM:@TM,'iavst',@ ) 03: 04: 05: 50L 06: S ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
