Hello All,

This there a way in the Define section to recognize the first occurrence of a field value.
For example:
Selectval/A1 = IF FST.ACCOUNT_NUMBER EQ '123' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N';

Thanks to all,
Ken

I think you can do something like this:
DEFINE FILE CAR
    FIRST/A1 = IF ACCOUNT_NUMBER NE LAST ACCOUNT NUMBER THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N';
END


The trick being that LAST refers to the previous row.

If you use Web5622 suggestion, the data must be presorted.

This shouldn't be an issue with an RDBMS, but care must be taken.
