There doesn't appear to be a field (TM delimited) in the header of a saved list to specify what file the keys in the list were selected from. Field 1 always appears to be blank - is this intentional so that a header can be identified by list1,1=@TM ?? If this is true, then we'd like to add a field, maybe to the notes (field 5) to identify the file associated with the list and use this in all our programs. What would be the best delimiter to use to ensure upward compatibility??

Thanks,

Bil.

Bil,

From Save_Select:

Header=@tm: TimeStamp: @tm: @username: @tm: @reccount: @tm: Comment

From Activate_Save_Select:

* first field of first chunk is allowed to be a comment prefixed by @tm

* the meaningful information in the comment is ignored, including reccount

if Part=1 and List1,1=@tm then

List=delete(List, 1, 0, 0)

end

Thanks Cameron,

So if I wanted to include the filename in the 'comment' subfield, I would have to use some non-system delimiter to separate the filename from the 'real' comment. Eg,

Header=@tm: TimeStamp: @tm: @username: @tm: @reccount: @tm: Comment: '~': filename

Bil,

I believe you can just replace the comment … if you are not already using it.
