tcl.qselect

Verb: Access/TCL, Releases: AP and R83

Creates active list from item(s).

Syntax

qselect file.reference {itemlist*} {(attr.ref)}

Description

creates a list from the specified 'file.reference' and itemlist*, similar to the 'get-list' command.

The list is constructed from the attributes specified by 'attr.ref' (attribute name or number) in an item (or list of items) specified by 'itemlist*'. Each attribute, value and subvalue becomes a single attribute value in the list.

If no 'attr.ref' is specified, all attributes are used.

Example

qselect invoice-file s12345 (5

This builds a list from the multi-values stored in attribute 5 of the item-id
's12345' from the 'invoice-file'.

qselect dict ap.doc 'desc'

This constructs a list out of the 'desc' attribute-defining item in
the dictionary of the 'ap.doc' file.
