--- Retrieving from database / Eugenio Gatto. - Torino, 1994-12-28 Date: Tue, 27 Dec 1994 14:51:00 -0800 From: Sylvia Caras <[log in to unmask]> : "Here's what I sent to Listserv... : [...] Select * in MADNESS.1267 Print <1267> [...]" Just leave out the angle brackets: "PRINT 1267". And (in such a case) you can simply write "PRINT", since it means 'print everything selected': the selection was for the single item #1267 in database MADNESS. I prefer to include always an INDEX statement between SELECT and PRINT: silly here, but generally useful for scanning a (huge) subsequent set of retrieved items, or documenting a PRINT request narrower (by explicit numbering) than the original SELECT. LDBASE-L@UKANVM is dedicated to discussion (no fear of filling your mailbox) of LISTSERV database searching techniques. Hope this helps; greetings. <-- Eugenio Gatto (CIDEM, Politecnico di Torino, Italia) [log in to unmask]
