Greetings,

I don't believe I can do what I want to do in Suprtool, but there
are far better minds on this list than me...so maybe there's hope.

I have a self-describing file, created using Suprtool, it looks like
this;

PART-NUMBER
PART-DESCRIPTION

Lets call that file PARTFILE

Now, using $LOOKUP, I want to look in my PARTS dataset for 
a matching PART-NUMBER. When true, I want to UPDATE 
the item DESCRIPTION with PART-DESCRIPTION, from PARTFILE.

I think it would look like this...

GET PARTS
IF $LOOKUP(blah, blah, blah)
UPDATE
EXT DESCRIPTION=PART-DESCRIPTION

Does that work?  I don't want to just "try it and see" for obvious
reasons.

Thanks,

Ernie
