I am reading values from a hold file.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-*
-SET &LIMIT=&LINES;
-SET &I=1;
-*
-REPEAT ENDLOOP &LIMIT TIMES
-READ HOLD NOCLOSE &COUNTRY.10.
-SET &COUNTRY.&I=&COUNTRY;
-*
-TYPE &COUNTRY.&I
-*
-SET &I=&I+1;
-*
-ENDLOOP

I am trying to brush off the rust, and I'd like a little help...

How do I build a variable to hold each of the values from the -read loop to use elsewhere (maybe a where statement).

Any ideas?

Thanks very much! Big Grin

tom..you don't look rusty to me...looks like you did just what you wanted to do.

do you want a single WHERE ?
if that's it, then
DEFINE FILE CAR
COUNTRY2/A12='''' | COUNTRY | '''';
END
TABLE FILE CAR PRINT COUNTRY2 ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END
-*
TABLE FILE somethingelse
WHERE COUNTRY IN FILE HOLD
or this used to work
WHERE COUNTRY IS (HOLD)

Here's a tech link..
