Clif You're right of course. Mea culpa - I'd forgotten that. Interestingly, using a SQL expression doesn't require that:
>LIST BOOK_TITLES EVAL "PRICE * UNITS" PRICE * UNITS WRITE attempt on read-only file. Unable to write item "EVAL1496.1". I-descriptor "PRICE * UNITS" was not compiled. > >SELECT (PRICE * UNITS) AS LineTotal FROM BOOK_TITLES; LineTotal..... 285.78 So there's no good reason why it should.
