      You are right, repeatable char is only used in the data entry

                <br>
                many thanks for your valuable hints. It seems now to be
                working ...!  :-)<br>
                <br>
                Egbert, you' re perfectly right: the indexing technique
                0 (instead of 5) in field 26 in the FST is a real
                mistake.<br>
                I didn't even notice that in the JISIS dictionary there
                was no entry "Z=xxx" (in the sample I sent).<br>
                The very strange fact is that the (wrong) syntax (26, 0,
                mpu,"Z="V26) in the FST worked perfectly for more than
                20 years in hundreds and hundreds of libraries using
                TECAdb in the CDS/ISIS-WinISIS versions (!?)  (in facts
                you can easily check that in the sample ISIS "DOS"
                version I attached to the mail, you can find all the
                "Z=" terms in the Inverted file, despite the wrong
                syntax!).<br>
                <br>
                Anyway, I changed the FST as you suggested and tried
                your test-PFT and it works!<br>
                Now I'll try to change all the PFT's in a correct way
                (and may be I will need your help again, because now I'm
                getting some parsing error... :-(  )<br>
                <br>
                Thanks again<br>
                <br>
                (I'm still having problems with the repeatable
                subfields, as I told you...I understand that this is
                probably due somehow to a certain "misuse" of the
                repetitions)<br>

                    <br>
                    <br>
                    Hello again,<br>
                    <br>
                    no need to apologize, I only wanted to make clear
                    why there was no immediate reply.<br>
                    Now, I checked your PFT and I think the problem is
                    with the syntax.<br>
                    <br>
                    First of all I changed the line creating the 'Z='
                    entries, by making it technique 5 (instead of 0) :<br>
                    26 5 '/Z=/',mpu,(V26/)<br>
                    as before that I didn't see any Z= entries in your
                    dictionary.<br>
                    <br>
                    Then I created the following PFT for testing the
                    REF-function (e.g. called 'testref') :<br>
                    (if p(v27) then<br>
                    REF(L('Z='v27),<br>
                    'V1='v1'  ',<br>
                    'V26='v26'    ',<br>
                    'V29='v29/'<BR>')<br>
                    else 'no references' fi)<br>
                    <br>
                    and the output for MFN 2 is, in my opinion correct :<br>
                    V1=^aInferno V26=005555 V29=1<br>
                    V1=^aPurgatorio V26=005556 V29=2<br>
                    V1=^aParadiso V26=005557 V29=3<br>
                    <br>
                    Based on this output from the basic model PFT for
                    the REF-function, I think you should be able to
                    correct your PFT with correct output.<br>
                    If you don't manage, let us know.<br>

                    <br>
                    Dear Egbert, Dear Jean-Claude<br>
                    <br>
                    Thank you for your kind interest.<br>
                    I am perfectly aware that you -and many people in
                    the ISIS community- are<br>
                    working mostly on a "voluntary basis" for the ISIS
                    project, and all of us<br>
                    are<br>
                    very grateful to you for all the efforts (and the
                    great work) you have done<br>
                    and still are doing for us.<br>
                    Therefore I apologize if I gave to you the
                    impression to ask (or worse<br>
                    "claim"...!) for a quick solution: it was absolutely
                    far from my intentions.<br>
                    I just wanted to share a problem with people having
                    a much deeper knowledge<br>
                    than mine, thinking that maybe other people
                    encountered -and solved- the<br>
                    same problems,<br>
                    and I sent the files attached to my previous mail
                    because I was asked to do<br>
                    so by someone. In the last days I shared with
                    friends living near me the<br>
                    great surprise and the honour of getting an
                    (unespected) answer from you to<br>
                    my emails.<br>
                    <br>
                    (I can simply add that working on a "voluntary
                    basis" applies somehow also<br>
                    to me-at a much lower level, as I was asked to solve
                    this problem -on a free<br>
                    basis, of course, as usual...- by others who updated
                    their machines to<br>
                    64-bit ones, and this is not "my" database - I am
                    only a school Math<br>
                    teacher, with a little ISIS knowledge due to many
                    years of usage.)<br>
                    <br>
                    Therefore it is not my intention to abuse your
                    kindness and your time, not<br>
                    to put anyone in a hurry to solve my problems,
                    please trust me. English is<br>
                    not my native language, and maybe some of my
                    expressions are not a correct<br>
                    translation of my real thoughts and feelings.<br>
                    <br>
                    Kind regards<br>

                    Hello,<br>
                    <br>
                    in order to fully check your problem (which is in
                    fact the 'repeatable<br>
                    subfield' problem, something which originally was
                    NOT envisaged by<br>
                    ISIS-technology) a careful setup is required and
                    this simply takes some more<br>
                    time to be set aside for finding out. None of us is
                    full-time freed from<br>
                    other professional responsibilities to deal with
                    such issues, it is all<br>
                    about voluntary time and efforts, hoping to sustain
                    the ISIS-technology.<br>
                    When we discussed the REF-function for J-ISIS the
                    idea was to fully copy its<br>
                    functionality from WinISIS (in fact such
                    'run-time'-on-demand<br>
                    semi-relational capability is something other
                    database technology is envying<br>
                    ISIS for), so that for sure should be tested
                    carefully and if found wrong<br>
                    corrected. Maybe your data provide us with
                    interesting testing data, that<br>
                    can be useful indeed.<br>
                    So, some patience please.<br>
