Thanks all for your assistance. I managed to get it to work using Andy's suggestion of a Unibasic SELECTINDEX Statement -: SELECTINDEX "RECORD_ID", @ID FROM AUDIT.HIST :-
And then just looping through to find the earliest record. Your assistance was much appreciated Bjorn PS: David. IF you know a better way, please feel free to advise. -----Original Message----- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Bjorn Behr Sent: 29 April 2009 11:28 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] I-Descriptor Help David You are correct with what I require. I am trying to get it to work using an I-Type because - It is on the QUOTES File, referencing the AUDIT.HIST File which has a relationship of one to many. - It is required to be on a field on the Quotes File as it is used to extract data for the MIS system for reporting. - If you can suggest another way, I am more than open to suggestions.

Your requirements are a little unclear...but I am guessing here that you're wanting to select the first timestamped record by the specified unique RECORD_ID? Do you have I-types for the Date and Time elements of the @ID - if so, you could: SELECT AUDIT_HIST WITH RECORD_ID = '1234' BY DATE BY TIME FIRST 1 Or something similar - any particular reason you need to have an I-type?

Should this be @ID for the first record on the AUDIT_HIST file?
