Mick, I'm not aware of any method of overriding the association field 7 of a dictionary.
A couple of thoughts: 1) Create a copy of the dictionary that has the association you desire and use the 'USING DICT <alt dictionary>' phrase. 2) Write a subroutine that accepts the parameters (fields, for example) you care about to make the association and use in a dictionary item or in an EVAL phrase. hth Karjala P.S. Don't find ASSOC or ASSOC.WITH in the UniData 6.1 docs, though they'd be nice -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gahan, Mick Sent: Monday, November 28, 2005 3:29 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Is there a way to associate "un-associated" multi-value fields on the fly? I thought I read somewhere that Unidata allowed a user to associate "un-associated" multi-value fields on the fly within a LIST or SORT statement. However, never having used it - nor being able to find it in any documentation, I'm wondering if I simply dreamed it up. This "on the fly" association would allow you to override the contents of field 7 of a dictionary, much like FMT allows you to override field 5 or CNV allows you to override field 3 of the dictionary. Does this "on-the-fly" association even exist? If not, is there a simple workaround? This would be for Unidata 6.09 on top of HPUX 11.11.
