Two Dictionary lessons in one day.
Other problem solved when 'DICT' was removed from the dictionary.
Among the 400+ dictionary items in my file, one of them is 'WHEN', as in
when the record was posted. I copied the VOC WHEN to DWHEN and
everything works as expected.
Thanks all

For what it's worth, I've done an equivalent query in prime flavor using my
demo database and as you would expect, it works fine:

Again. This is PRIME FLAVOR. I've tried these commands on both 9.5
and 10.2
1) SORT FILE BY.EXP CHARGE.CODE EQ "01" CHARGE.CODE TOTAL
REV.AMT 0 records selected.
2) SORT FILE BY.EXP CHARGE.CODE = "01" CHARGE.CODE TOTAL
REV.AMT 0 records selected.
3) SORT FILE BY.EXP CHARGE.CODE WITH CHARGE.CODE EQ "01"
CHARGE.CODE TOTAL REV.AMT 0 records selected.
4) SORT FILE BY.EXP CHARGE.CODE WHEN CHARGE.CODE EQ "01"
CHARGE.CODE TOTAL REV.AMT 0 records selected.
5) SSELECT FILE BY.EXP CHARGE.CODE
x records selected
LIST FILE CHARGE.CODE TOTAL REV.AMT WHEN CHARGE.CODE EQ "01"
0 records selected.
ditto for WITH CHARGE.CODE EQ "01"
but
SORT FILE BY.EXP CHARGE.CODE CHARGE.CODE TOTAL REV.AMT FILE
CHARGE.CODE REV.AMT
100 01 10.01
101 01 1.11
102 01 2.23
103 01 100.55
100 02 1.00
101 02 1.01
you get the idea.
I can remember the original version of Pr1me Information. It was
earlier then BY.EXP. Like Pick pre-r80, it didn't really do
MV very well.
The WHEN clause is documented in the current Release 10
Retrieve manual about a page or two after BY.EXP.
By the way, 1,2,3,4 all work in Pick or Ideal flavor.
Any ideas?
thanks
Roger
