I guess I have been creating my report improperly for a while and with App Studio it is harder for me to do it the same way. I am not allowed to have Dialog Manager statements within the Report request. I get a Hopefully someone teach me the proper way to create a where statement depending on a parameter value.
How do I include and additional WHERE command depending on a value that is passed to a parameter ealier in the procedure?

Here is how I have been doing it now. But when I open the fexin App Studio it says it will discard the Dialog Manager commands if I continue.

TABLE FILE CUSTOMER_MASTER_BASE_FEES
PRINT
YMFEDP
BY FFDCUSN NOPRINT
WHERE FFDCUSN EQ '&CUST_NO'
-IF &SCANNER_FEES NE 'Y' GOTO AFTER_SCANNER_FEES
AND YMCLSN EQ '271'
-AFTER_SCANNER_FEES
;
END

Jay does this discard happen in a GUI tool or a text editor? If it's in the text editor a lot of us are in trouble, because there's nothing wrong with your code and I do stuff like this all the time.

I never use the GUI for generating reports, but I assume you could adjust your WHERE-clause to be GUI-friendly like so:
WHERE (('&SCANNER_FEES' NE 'Y') OR ('&SCANNER_FEES' EQ 'Y' AND YMCLSN EQ '271'));

In the GUI! It did it in the Dev Studio GUI before, but that was only after it was opened up and I select the report image. In App Studio it tries to open the report up right away, even when there are multple dialogs other procedures before it.

The problem &SCANNER_FEES does not represent a field name. It is just a parameter outside of the table that help me decided if I need to add an addition where clause.

Hi Jay,
How about passing a new parameter &YMCLSN271 with a value of '271' or 'FOC_NONE', depending on the value of '&SCANNER_FEES'?
-SET &YMCLSN271=IF &SCANNER_FEES NE 'Y' THEN 'FOC_NONE' ELSE '271';
Then creatE a second where clause in place of the 'AND' condition:
WHERE YMCLSN EQ '&YMCLSN271';

That is a good concept and may take care of a lot of the problems.

Thank you for the suggestion, it did solved the dialog problem within the table request. But ofcourse there are other things that blow up the GUI. I will update my code to use this suggestion to limit the dialog code within the table request.
