To my knowledge, this has been around forever; but it has always been something I thought was totally inconsistent:
File A and File B are related to each other.
An attribute on File B is a mv.
From File A I wish to use a dictionary item that returns that File B attribute; and so use a t-correlative such as:
T(FILEB;X;;n)
where n is the integer amc number of the attribute on File B I want.
This works perfectly if n is single valued; but if n is multi-valued the result is all the values delimited by a <space>; not returned as a mv.
Why? It strikes me this is entirely inconsistent with mv principles.
Now, with that said; is there a way around this in a dictionary item [apart from doing a call subroutine] using F or A type syntax?
