Message-ID: <1042@sdcc12.ucsd.EDU> Date: 26 Sep 88 18:33:19 GMT Organization: University of California, San Diego Lines: 13 Is it possible that the resume field statement wont accept a row specification for a table field. I want to use the value in the first column of a table field (lastname) to fill in the second column (if there is only one person with that lastname) and resume on the next row of the table field. resume field names[row+1].lname generates a syntax error. Am I missing something or is Ingres just lacking this seemingly simple and basic feature?? jpoole@ucsd.edu jpoole@ucsd.bitnet
