I've come across the following need on a number of occasions, and I'm
wondering if there already exists a D3 command that will do the following:
I get a SAVE-LIST of values from some source
001 10001
002 10015
003 10018
....
100 10526
I now want to SELECT off another file, but the values in the SAVE-LIST
are not item-ids in the second file, but are values (or multivalues) in
a field within the second file.
In other words, I want the ACCESS command to morph to
SELECT file WITH field = "10001" "10015" "10018" ... "10526".
So my sequence of commands would be
SELECT file1
SELECT file2 WITH field = any-single-value-within-previous-select-list
I know I can probably get around this by using some sort of REFORMAT
into a tem****ary file, but that's messy. I'm looking for something
straightforward.
Does such a command already exist in D3, or do I have to roll my own?
