Greetings,

Can you update an item in a dataset with a value in a table?

I have a table called Widgets, that looks like this...

WIDGET-NUMBER <KEY FIELD>
WIDGET-COLOR

I have a dataset called WIDGET-TYPES, that looks like this...

WIDGET-NUMBER <KEY FIELD>
WIDGET-TYPES

I want to do this...

GET WIDGET-TYPES
IF $LOOKUP(WIDGETS,WIDGET-NUMBER)
UPDATE
EXT WIDGET-TYPES=WIDGET-COLOR

I then get this error...

Error:  Item "WIDGET-COLOR" not in the dataset WIDGET-TYPES

Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks,

Ernie
