Thanks to all who have responded. I didn't realize that you could/should stick "PA" in front of such a list?!?
The little project I was working on was due yesterday, so I ended up just running the QSELECT and filtering the resulting list within the C# program. The list consisted of an invoice number tacked onto a client number and the program already had the invoice number as a variable. The manual actually states only one command at a time, so it's not like this is a bug or anything. Just that I have grown used to sticking 2-3 commands together with an @FM character and capturing the result. And I know for a fact you don't need the PA in front, at least not with Pick flavor UniVerse.

I never realised before I started reading cdp/oliver that you didn't need PA at the start of an @FM list called by EXECUTE, so that's the way I've always done things.

You'll have to pass in the DATA to the paragraph (since I figure that 12345 is the value of a variable) and I haven't tried that with UOJ, but I suspect others have. Good luck. --dawn Dawn M.

Before I go off and rethink how I'm doing this, I thought I'd ask to make sure this really won't work. What I'm attempting is to run something like this under UniObjects. QSELECT CLIENT.XREF "12345" :@FM: SSELECT AR.TR BY MATTER WITH INVOICE = "12345" On this system, doing this results in a very quick selection of a couple hundred records out of the AR.TR file. But, the docs for UniObjects say only one command at a time. Does this mean that sticking a couple commands together like this is just not possible? I've tried it and it looks like the QSELECT is being attempted with all parts of the command string. If it won't work, I suppose I'll be reduced to writing up a stub of a program to do the same thing and just call it from the UniObjects side of things. But, if there's a better way, I'm all ears.
