I need to delete some sub-values from an attribute and thought the update processor would be the easiest way, however I can't figure out how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Chris |
I believe you can simply "U" the item ("U filename itemname"), CTRL-N
to the attribute number, CTRL-K over to the desired location of the
SVM, and/or data between SVM's, to delete, then CTRL-L for each
character you want to delete. Then, CTRL-X and "file" the item.
If you are on ACCUTERM, and have the "WED" editor available to you,
that is even simpler. WED file itemname, at which time you have the
full-screen editor available. Navigate to the attribute(s) and use
the typical editing functions that you would use in other WORD-type
screens (highlight the SVM's to delete, and/or data in between, then
DELETE. CTRL-S to file the item away.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

relatively new to PICK and when I needed to delete characters when
editing I'd position the cursor ahead and CTRL-R, then back space.
Doesn't quite work with SVs.
Thanks again.

new word. Is there a way to disable the beep, and for what reason is
it beeping?

on and your WORDS file in the DM account is empty.
Now if I remember right there is a switch that can be included on the
TCL command line that will either turn off or on the spell checker.
Once you are in the update processor I think you press <ctrl> S three
times to disable the spell checker. Check the manuals!!!! And if
you have the keyboard template card, the keystrokes are described on
there.

where A25 is specifiying the reference to just the attribute, you
won't run the risk of deleting another attribute accidentally. And,
using prestores will help tremendously in changing multiple items. :-)
