Get QDAS Catalog Entry Identifier

Much like Set K-Field from QDAS Catalog this command offers the user an option to select a record identifier for the target Kxxxx field from the imported QDAS catalog. The advantage here is that you can select any K-Field and build a ques- tion to ask using a string reference list.

Remarks

This command returns the index of the user selected string, not the string its self. But this integer is what is needed in the *.dfq export step. String 0 is always “-1: N/A” for each K-Field if no user selection is made or no options were available in the catalog.
