This is RetrieVe

by Malcolm Bull


This is RetrieVe looks at all aspects of the RetrieVe Query Language which is used on UniVerse systems. The book is designed to serve as:

  • An introduction to the nature and form of RetrieVe
  • A reference for both new and experienced users
  • A source of practical tips and techniques for those wishing to exploit the language

The presentation is based on Malcolm Bull's experience of using the language over many years

Chapter headings and major topics:

  • Files
  • Introducing RetrieVe
  • RetrieVe statements
  • Lists
  • Other RetrieVe verbs
  • Backing storage and RetrieVe
  • ReVise
  • Using RetrieVe
  • Sentence, paragraphs and menus
  • Descriptors: 1 – A and S
  • Descriptors: 2 – D and I
  • Creating descriptors
  • Structure codes
  • Conversion codes
  • Correlatives
  • I-type expressions

This is RetrieVe follows the same general principles and structure as the popular Access: the Pick Query Language and is dedicated to the UniVerse query language

The book is designed to be used for general reading, and also as an essential element of MultiValue training courses. It is suitable for use by beginners, by experienced users, and by technical users

The book – like all the titles in our popular This is... series - is produced in a format which enables training organisations and software houses to include it as a part of their own education and training materials, and which allows us to keep the material up-to-date as the systems grow and extend the features and facilities which are available within the language.
