Alternatively, and maybe somehow simpler, you could produce a list in a text-file from the terminal with mx :

mx mydb "pft=if a(v76) then MFN,/ fi" now -all >a76.txt

where 'mydb' is the name of your database. The file a76.txt will contain, each on a new line, the MFNs of the records without a v76.

This command has to be run from a terminal prompt. If the mx-executable is not in your default path, copy it (e.g. from C:\ABCD\www\cgi-bin\ansi or in Linux : /opt/ABCD/www/cgi-bin/ansi) to the folder in which you are working. Then in Linux you have to add './' in front of mx, so : /.mx

If you prefer to get this result from within the ABCD-interface, try creating the PFT with contents

             if a(v76) then MFN,/ fi

and using this PFT in the 'reports' function you can as well produce the same list. This has the advantage that you can also select e.g. Excel to drop the list into a spreadsheet, or Word for a Word-document, instead of sending the output to the screen or a simple text-file.

Leyla,

I would take these steps:

1.       Create a FST for indexing, containing only one line, e.g.

1 0 if a(v76) then MFN fi

This will give you a list of all records numbers with v76 being empty.
2.       After creating an index file from the whole database with MX and this FST, I woud visualise this index with ifleys and export it to a TXT file, e.g.

Ifkeys test>test.txt

This will give you a list of all records with the empty v76 which you can print. This printed list will make it easier to go over every record with the empty v76.

Dear all,

I am checking certain entries in ABCD and want to find records that have no entries in the descriptor field v76 / (MA_), how do I proceed?

Thank you very much in advance.

With best regards

Leyla
