CalcObject Statement: Select
Version 7.11
CalcObject Statement: Select CalcObject Statement: Select
    Syntax: SELECT cx dgname
    Placement: RETURN Section, EVERY Section, ATEND Section
    Description: Causes the record number of the last record
       read from data group dgname (or the last record 
       written by the WRITE statement) to be placed in the
       collection cx. The collection cx must be different 
       from the collection used by the calling REPORT command.
 
       It is the responsibility of the calling program to 
       initialize and examine the target collection.
 
       As an example, suppose REPORT definition PARTS_CHECK
       creates a secondary collection called B PARTS. The
       possible DCL procedure would be:
          CLEAR B PARTS
          REPORT A ACCORDING TO PARTS_CHECK
          TALLY/X B PARTS
          IF %ANSWER > 0
             procedure for B PARTS
          ENDIF
