Hi Kevin, Any reason why you are using type "U" ? This certainly works using "P" ...

The other option could be to do a READLIST within the SUBR function and reset the list when RETURNing, but this could be onerous in terms of processing speed. HTH -Baker -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Kevin King Sent: Monday, September 24, 2012 11:43 AM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] Unidata 7.1.16 Multiple Active Select Lists How does one manage multiple active select lists in Unidata? I could have sworn I've done this before, but for some reason it's not working at all as I recall. I have this SUBR(..) type field in file A that selects records from file B to calculate an aggregate. This works fine when listing file A and showing the field. However, if there's an active select list when file A is listed with this field, the select statement in my SUBR(..) is consuming the active select list 0 and returning incorrect results. My subroutine is $BASICTYPE "U" and is selecting records using the lower case select and selecting to active list #3. It then processes from list #3 and returns its result. I've tried using the RTNLIST and PASSLIST options on the EXECUTE statements and I get a "Misuse of Reserved Word 'PASSLIST'" or "Misuse of Reserved Word 'RTNLIST'". I've tried UDTEXECUTE with no compilation errors but also no improvement on the problem. I've even tried MDPERFORM but I get the misuse errors with the RTNLIST and PASSLIST options. Oddly enough, removing $BASICTYPE "U" I don't get an error on MDPERFORM but I can't READNEXT from a numbered select without the $BASICTYPE "U". How should I structure this SUBR(..) so that it does not consume list 0 when selecting to list 3? _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users ________________________________ This communication, its contents and any file attachments transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential proprietary information.
