Hi all,

I am looking to do a little tweak to a select list from within an MFS just after the select has been actioned.

Can anyone tell me where the select list is stored in order to perform this tweak ??

Regards,

Simon

It's a little more complicated than that depending on the size of the list. The MFS docs should give you some pointers however, especially

pre.code {
  background-color: #E5E5E5;
  border: 1px solid #000000;
  width: 450px;
  padding: 5px;
  font-family: courier, verdana, arial, serif;
  margin: 0px 10px auto;
}

Unless I am misunderstanding you, there might be easier ways. Can you explain what you are planning to do? If so maybe you can "READ" the list into a variable, tweak it, then "FORM" the list to be active.

You must also be aware of fragmented active lists.

I am just wondering what you want to do with the select list that couldn't be done during a select?

Ok - to explain the situation, in a similar situation to a posting yesterday, we are also in a 24/7 operating environment, so in order to allow the system to backup all data files correctly, we are developing a suspend mechanism so that during the backup all data (including indexes) is written to a separate table/location. Reads/writes etc are all handled by the MFS successfully, but obviously if a process uses a select during that time then that has to be catered for …..

Oops, I forgot to mention that the MFS being used in accessed from both OI and ARev, and in addition to selected lists, I would also like to play with the data returned from a 'List_Keys' call in both ….

All help appreciated,

Hi - I have managed pretty much everything that I wanted, however …

By using Save_Select and Active_Save_Select etc, I have managed pretty much to get the list as I want it, but I cannot get the list to appear in the open dialog box. I am guessing this is because @List_Active is set to 3 and the open dialog want it to be a '1'.

Can this be confirmed and is it possible to force it as such ??

Simon

…. also, is it possible to sort an active select list into another order (bearing in mind it might be a large list) ??
