I meant to add what was the original selection criteria...so you could write a SQL SELECT with a join to filter out the records you want to include/exclude...
Barring a non-programming solution you have to write, here's one someone else already has written... :) -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Hona, David Sent: Tuesday, 15 January 2013 6:27 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [UV Retrieve] Selecting file based on partial key This may help you... https://u2devzone.rocketsoftware.com/accelerate/articles/u2-select/u2-select -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Peter Cheney Sent: Tuesday, 15 January 2013 2:10 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] [UV Retrieve] Selecting file based on partial key Dear U2 List, Is the below at all possible in universe retrieve please? I didn't think it was but there're a lot more clever people out there than I plus it's been too long since I was doing this regularly and cannot remember if it is or not. I cannot see anything obvious in the manuals. We have a file in a production environment with 5477108 records whose @ID/Key are all '9-digit-account-number':'4-digit-sequence-number'. Q. Is it possible to obtain a list of @ID's based on a separate saved list of '9-digit-account-number'? The remaining record fields are all out of scope for the selection apart from an internal date in attribute 4 but that can be interrogated later. Is it possible to construct a kind of reverse select based on my existing saved-list and pass this data into a dict item for the account number? I've tried numerous permutations of this but have yet to find the answer. Or can I do something lie an sql SELECT FILENAME WHERE ACC_NBR = 'GET-LIST ACC_LIST'? How is this done on a (live) normal type 18 UV file? Of course I can always whip up some basic code to do this but it is production and getting it there will take a while. (and no I didn't design the file layout ...) Many thanks in advance.
