I'm trying to do an ad hoc search of records that contain duplicate values in the first and second elements of a multivalued UniData field. I was hoping something like this would work but I'm not having any luck.
LIST PERSON WITH EVAL "STATUS[1] = STATUS[2]"
After some testing it looks like I stumbled across a way of reading the field right to left that many characters. Interesting but not useful for what I need.
LIST PERSON NAME EVAL "NAME[3]" COL.HDG 'Last3'
PERSON Name Last3
0001 Smith ith
Any ideas on how to correctly select on specific field elements?
Apparently the EXTRACT function will let me specify an element but I still can't get a selection on it to work properly.
LIST PERSON STATUS EVAL "EXTRACT(STATUS,1,2,0)" COL.HDG 'Status2'
PERSON STATUS Status2
0001 Added Processed
Processed
I would use eval with @RECORD placeholder with the dynamic array notation as such (assuming that STATUS is in Attribute 11.
Edit: Previous answer was how I would do this in UniVerse
Script Wolf's more better way that works in UniVerse and UniData.
Good Luck.
