Ok.

I have file1 - "people" that has @ID of PID
I have file2 - "registration" that has @ID of PID+EID+RID  (EID = event id,  
RID = registration id)

I want to select people who are not in the registration file with an EID of "1".

With an SQL statement - I could join the two, then do the select or use a 
subquery (I'm on UV 10.0.2 - not sure if sub querys work)
Just curious how this could be done with UV Native, and without involving a 
program.

I first tried "SELECT REGISTRATION WITH EID = '1' SAVING UNIQUE PID" -> 
"NSELECT PEOPLE"

But that returned 0 - since the NSELECT only works off the current select list, 
not the whole file

Yes, I could create a temporary file, then select off that
Yes, I could read each people record, then loop through registration to see if 
it doesn't exist.
Both of the above require programming
I guess I could create a subroutine that does the looping through registration, 
and put that into an I descriptor - looking for another option.
