[Download-List] Problem mixing single value and multi value fields

[David L. Rotman]

Larry--

Did you ever get this resolved?

The BY.EXP shown work on the Download statement even if the active list was not created using BY.EXP.  (There might be some differences in the order of the output, but it should still work.)

Does the dictionary show that UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY is multi-valued?  Using BY.EXP on a single-valued field will generate an error in Download (but not for Unidata LIST).

Hello,
 
I'm trying to flatten some data for export to a spreadsheet.
Using standard sort/list commands, the data looks like this:
 
LS.INV.NUM..... UATB.N.CONTRACT
 
         393139 001-5087442-001
                001-5087442-002
                001-5087442-003
 
I want it to look like this:
 
         393139 001-5087442-001
         393139 001-5087442-002
         393139 001-5087442-003
 
I tried this syntax:
 
SELECT LS.INV.NUM BY.EXP UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY WITH @ID = "393139"
 
3 records selected to list 0.
 
DOWNLOAD LS.INV.NUM UATB. at ID BY.EXP UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY
 
I get this:
 
DOWNLOAD version 7.30
Using input file LS.INV.NUM
Output to screen
 
393139,"001-5087442-001"
393139,"001-5087442-001"
393139,"001-5087442-001"
 
Then I get this:
 
DOWNLOAD Error Listing                                                Page     1
 
                                                               09:19:03 05-13-10
 
 
Invalid syntax "UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY": should be "UATB.N.CONTRACT.KEY multi-valuedField"
 
 
 
So, I get the repeated single value (which is good) but then I get the first value of the mult-value field repeated (and I get the error message). Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but if anyone can give me different syntax that might work, I would appreciate it.
 
BTW I'm using Unidata 6.0 (on UNIX).
 
 
Thanks,
-Larry
