[Download-List] DOWNLOAD using BY.EXP with two WHEN clauses

[David L. Rotman]

I have done some additional research on this problem and believe 
that I have identified a related bug in producing output
using BY.EXP (for comma-quote output and xml output).  I would
like to work on this for a few days before releasing a patched
version.  (This work will likely be delayed pending some minor
surgery and recovery.)

In the meantime, you might try this modification:  In the routine
DLPROCESS (DOWNLOAD.PROCESS on Unidata)
, at line 168 you should find:
0168:                      GOSUB BUILD.COMMA.QUOTE.DATA.VALUE
Try changing that line to 
0168:                      GOSUB BUILD.COMMA.QUOTE.DATA.SUBVALUE

You will need to recompile (and perhaps recatalog) the program.

Let me know how the change works.

I have a UniVerse process that has a file with multi-values with 3 fields associated (field 7 of dictionary contains the same association for all 3 fields; AP.76, AP.92, and AP.93). I'm trying to use the BY.EXP with using the WHEN for one field and the WHEN for another field:

SELECT AP.FLE BY.EXP AP.76 WHEN AP.76 = '678' AND WHEN AP.92 GE '09-01-04'
DOWNLOAD AP.FLE BY.EXP AP.76 WHEN AP.76 = '678' AND WHEN AP.92 GE '09-01-04'

Of course I'm using the AP.76 and AP.92 fields to return the data along with some other fields. I keep getting an error message from DLPROCES:

Program "DLPROCESS": Line 236, Variable "VALUE.CTR" previously undefined.  Zero used.

I do get the right record count, but most of my AP.76 and AP.92 values are null, the ones that are not null do have the 678 with a date GE 09-01-04.

I have a bunch of requests for this information using different values and report criteria, but all using the same select basics. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
