Thanks Mats. Actually I simply changed the association in the dictionaries
to be:
Dictionary List: DICT CHANGES Prepared on: 07:03:38am 01 Dec 2005
Dict Name...... Type # Col-Heading.... Field-Definition. Conversion.. Format
Assoc...
ADATE D 4 ACTDATE D2 9R
M AS_4
ACTIONS D 7 ACTIONS TAKEN 63T
M AS_4
BYS D 8 ACTIONS BY TUSERS;C;;1 20L
M AS_4
OACTIONS I ACTIONS TAKEN @RECORD<7> 30T
M AS_4 (from AS_4A)
and left the phrases alone. This is a bit counter-intuitive though. It's
as though there's no fixed relationship between attribute 7 and the phrase.
In fact, I changed the dictionaries to be:

BYS D 8 ACTIONS BY TUSERS;C;;1 20L M X
OACTIONS I ACTIONS TAKEN @RECORD<7> 30T M X
and left the phrases alone as (no 'X' phrase) :

This is the result of the query:

Martin: The ACTIONS and OACTIONS are synonyms for the same field, so
presently ADATE(4) would have a C;8;7 in it while ACTIONS(7), OACTIONS(7),
and BYS(8) would have a D;4 in it. This is one of the painful (and oldest)
nuisances with the U2 products, where multiple dictionaries need to be
created for different output scenarios.
Thanks again,
Bill
