Re: Dict CALL routine to return MV data

It is unfortunate, but I don't think a D3 call correlative will return
value-delimited data. (If someone knows a way around this, please
share!)

Typically, if the dictionary item's amc <2> refers to a multi-valued
field, then the call is executed once for each value in the list (you
can test access(6) in these circumstances to determine the position of
the value you are currently on, if necessary). This is why, when I
have a call correlative that needs to process an entire mv list, I
usually end up putting a 0 (zero) in field <2> of the calling dict
item and then reading the (mv) field I need via the access(3)
function.
