Dear Download List subscribers...

I sent the below to the INFO-DATATEL list, but no one has responded yet.
I thought I would cross post this to this list since it is geared more
specifically to the DOWNLOAD software.

Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.

I have downloaded and installed in our TEST account version 7.0.2 of
Cedarville Download.  I am now trying the new feature @RECORD to get all
the fields downloaded from the file.  Below is the paragraph I am
running...

001: PA

002: SELECT ROOMS SAMPLE 10

003: SAVE.LIST XKPD.ROOMS.LIST

004: GET.LIST XKPD.ROOMS.LIST

005: DOWNLOAD ROOMS @RECORD DEFAULT NUM.VALUES ALL \

006: FILE _HOLD_ XKPD.ROOMS.DOWNLOAD OVERWRITING

007: DELETE.LIST XKPD.ROOMS.LIST          

As far as I can tell, I have duplicated the information on page 24 of
the 7.0 manual on line 5 above to get all fields and values downloaded.

But all I get are what appears to be @ID's in the output.  I wanted to
try this with a subset of records since we have 12,000+ records in our
rooms files.  So I am using save lists in front of the DOWNLOAD command
to limit the number of records processed.

Contents of file XKPD.ROOMS.DOWNLOAD after processing is done.
"569*0133" "033*0529A" "3471*0126" "015*0123" "347*0315" "010*0106"
"3475*0133B" "033*0411J" "030*0174" "022*0140D"


I don't get any error messages when I run the command.

Output ---------------------------------------------
10 records selected to list 0.

 

10 key(s) saved to 1 record(s).

10 records retrieved to list 0.

DOWNLOAD version 7.02

Creating temporary list DLDATATEL34763

Deleting temporary list DLDATATEL34763

'DLDATATEL34763' deleted.

'XKPD.ROOMS.LIST' deleted.

I figure I am missing something basic here, but I just don't see it.
Maybe there are too many associations and multi-value fields in this
file to process correctly...

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
