I'd use basic. When I used it (yonks ago) I thought the manual was reasonably clear. The basic command takes two arguments. The first is the index name, and if that's all you supply it returns a list of the index values. The second is the index value, and if you supply that as well it returns a list of all the record keys for that value.

How do I programmatically get an index value out, eg I have a STOCK file, and a REPAIRS file. Whoever designed this needs their head read, but the repairs file only has the stock code as a reference in the record. I have indexed the repair file on stock code, and need to create a report on the stock file of how many items are under repair. 1. UniverseBASIC code? 2. is this possible from an Itype? ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
