sending more than 5 values to a dclerk from command line

[Jay Ashworth]

As your single -r parameter, send

KEY1|KEY2|KEY3|ETC

And in the -v table, do

IF @PM co "|"{keyfield SELECT
IF @PM co KEYFIELD{"|" SELECT

You might have to do those {'s off in a dummy, I forget.

But multiple SELECTS in one record are atomic, I think.
