Andrew: I believe I meant BSELECT. QSELECT is used to build a list of all attributes in a record.
In UniData, to get a select list of the contents of an attribute you would: :BSELECT LOOKUP.TABLE "XYZ" CODE In D3 you'd simply: :SELECT LOOKUP.TABLE 'XYZ' CODE Then you'd have to mess around with saving a list then getting a list with the "(u" option to remove redundant codes. According to the UV documentation, and a couple of tests, you can: :SELECT LOOKUP.TABLE 'XYZ' CODE {n} record(s) selected to SELECT list #0. :SELECT SomeFile SAVING UNIQUE @ID An example looks like: 3260 Dtademo (0)-> LIST PAYSAL 04:21:07am 23 Jan 2008 PAGE 1 PAYSAL.. EMPLOYEE NAME................. %HRS ACCT. AMOUNT.. CLNT TYP CY AK*115 SMITH, THOMAS J 90 2010 1,525.00 770 REG M 10 2030 1,525.00 770 REG 1 records listed. 3260 Dtademo (0)-> SELECT PAYSAL 'AK*115' CLIENTNO 2 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0. 3260 Dtademo (0)>> SELECT MASTER SAVING UNIQUE CLIENTNO 1 record(s) selected to SELECT list #0. 3260 Dtademo (0)>> LIST MASTER LIST MASTER 04:24:43am 23 Jan 2008 PAGE 1 MASTER.... NAME.......................... #UNITS 770 308 114 1 records listed. Sorry that this won't do any good if the codes (or a I-descriptor contatenation of them) don't exist as @IDs in another file. I don't know what to do then. Hope this helps.
