Good question! :-)

How's this for an ugly Kludge:

1) Pass 1, Quiz:
 - Access DATA-SOURCE
 - Prompt user for CHOOSE parms
 - Retrieve the data records, and write only the key ("chosen") values
("KEYVALUE") to SUBFILE1

2) Pass 2, QTP
 - Access SUBFILE1
 - declare a large CHARACTER temporary NORESET
 - Append COMMA (conditionally) + KEYVALUE to the temporary for every record
read.
 - Create SUBFILE2 "at final" with just the temporary field

3) Pass 3, Quiz
 - Access SUBFILE1 link KEYVALUE to DATA-SOURCE link to record (0) of
SUBFILE2
 - Initial heading .....

... I warned you it was ugly ... :-)
