I need insight from the U2 faithful. This is Unidata 7, if that
affects the answer...
I have a file which has 2 associated fields, such as:
XEM.PERSON = 1737292:@VM:1818182:@VM:9187311
XEM.VALUE = 23:@VM:14:@VM:99
What I'd like is a field which sorts by XEM.VALUE for the associated
person querying the records. That is, if person 1737292 is selecting
records it would use 23 for purposes of sorting this record. If 1818182
is selecting, it would use 14 for sorting.
I've done plenty of i-descriptors both with and without subroutines, but
I don't have insight as to any method of allowing the query to know
who's running it. I've dreamed about WHEN...ASD but Unidata only allow
this in a LIST statement and it doesn't really do what I need, even if
it were allowed in a SELECT.
I need the data stored as listed above, but I am open to using a
database trigger to store this in some alternative form that makes the
query easier to deal with - but I can't think of how this might be
accomplished.
Any insight is appreciated.
