We wish to use Make List in much the same manner as in ARev.

For example, an account record contains a list of transactions

We wish to select the transactions for Period 4 only and display in a popup.

 PERFORM 'MAKELIST ACCOUNTS ' : @ID : ' TRANS '

 PERFORM 'SELECT TRANSACTIONS WITH PERIOD=4'

OI has a MAKE.LIST command but it always gives a 'Variable undefined' error.

 keys=make.list(0, trans_keys, accounts_file, dict_file)

All the variables are defined.

@RECCOUNT contains the correct number of keys.

The variable 'KEYS' contain 0 (zero).

Is there a reason why MAKE.LIST fails.

Or is there an easier method to select a groups of keys

then display the records in a popup?

You've accidentally posted as VIP Specific - this could cause many of forum users to ignore your message.

The reason Make.List is failing is that is a subroutine not a function so it doesn't return a value (VNAV) - hust call it as a subroutine.

Thanks, I will try that. The Help implies it is

a function. Logically it makes more sense to be a

function rather than a subroutine.
