Hello,
I have a project called Empresas. The main dictionary is Empresas_DICT

How can I create the option to search the companies already registered in Empresas_DICT, select and load the information?

I'm trying to use SELCASE (EMPRESAS_DICT, "")
But it generates the following error
ERROR: Invalid function call (external dictionary name expected) near line 39 in GLOBAL procedure

Is there a method or function to search the internal dictionary?

The only thing that you can do with the main dictionary is get a list of IDs (function keylist) or check if a case exists (function locate). You can't access the data.

Some people use menu programs to control access to the data entry program, and from that program you could access all of the details in your main dictionary.
