Hi All,

I know it has been discussed before but after scanning through search results, did not find any solution giving the exact output I am looking for. Hence my question.

I need row values of a column turn to a single column, single row value separated by comma. Before I try this via SQL, hoping there a is a good simple Focus way.

Thanks in advance!

Tom,

I tried this method. It gives me the row values in the continuous format separated by comma. But also has other values/text as shown below. Also the number 000039 is appearing in front of all values. I just want the data like so.
dynamic text place holder for graph J03, dynamic text place holder for graph J06, dynamic text place holder for graph J07

Can you suggest the changes?


 Your request did not return any output to display.
Possible causes:
 - No data rows matched the specified selection criteria.
 - Output was directed to a destination such as a file or printer.
 - An error occurred during the parsing or running of the request.

Sandeep,

Does the column that you used (the COUNTRY field used by Tom in his sample) is a variable length field (something such as A39V) ?

Tom sample code will work properly with fix length field (A39). The 000039 is the length of the field used on your side.

If you use Tom's sample as below, you will see a 000010 in front of each value:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     COUNTRY/A10V
  BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
 ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-SET &XLINES = &LINES;
-SET &CNTR = 0;
-SET &COUNTRY_OUT = '';
-SET &COUNTRY     = '';
-REPEAT GET_DATA &XLINES TIMES
-READ HOLD1 NOCLOSE &COUNTRY.A10.
-SET &CNTR = &CNTR + 1;
-SET &COUNTRY_OUT = IF &CNTR EQ 1 THEN &COUNTRY || ',' ELSE 
-                   IF &CNTR EQ &XLINES THEN &COUNTRY_OUT || &COUNTRY ELSE &COUNTRY_OUT || &COUNTRY || ',';
-GET_DATA
-TYPE &COUNTRY_OUT
-EXIT

Martin,

the column I am using is A256V in the mfd. I checked the length of the current value in the column. It is 39. Some how that's value that is being written in the output. Not sure why. Can you suggest what changes to make to get the desired output? Thank you.

If you are using a variable column length (A256V), Tom's technique will display the field length as the first characters before the text value in the output.

The column as to be a fixed value to avoid the display of its length in the result.

Or another solution is to use READFILE instead of READ such as below.
In my sample I change the format of COUNTRY from a fix length of A10 to variable length of A10V (just for purpose of the sample) but the result is properly displayed using READFILE

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY/A10V
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1

-SET &XLINES = &LINES;
-SET &CNTR = 0;
-SET &COUNTRY_OUT = '';
-SET &COUNTRY     = '';

-SET &CNTR = &CNTR + 1;
-SET &COUNTRY_OUT = IF &CNTR EQ 1 THEN &COUNTRY || ',' ELSE 
-                   IF &CNTR EQ &XLINES THEN &COUNTRY_OUT || &COUNTRY ELSE &COUNTRY_OUT || &COUNTRY || ',';
-GET_DATA
-TYPE &COUNTRY_OUT

This is the method that I adopted from @TonyA

  
-DEFAULTH &VAL_STR = ''

TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM COMPUTE CNTR = LAST CNTR + 1; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE COMMA/A1 = IF CNTR EQ 1 THEN '' ELSE ','; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE VAL_STR/A100V = LAST VAL_STR || COMMA || LJUST(12, COUNTRY, 'A12V');
   BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPHLD1
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TEMPHLD1
  SUM LST.VAL_STR
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPHLD2
END
-RUN

-READFILE TEMPHLD2
-SET VAL_STR = TRUNCATE(&VAL_STR);
-TYPE &|VAL_STR = &VAL_STR

Hallway,

The secret is the use of READFILE instead of READ
If you perform the below (your sample with a READ instead of READFILE), your result will show the 000039 at the beginning
Also, no need to specify the TEMPHLD2 format with a READFILE.

-DEFAULTH &VAL_STR = ''

TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM COMPUTE CNTR = LAST CNTR + 1; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE COMMA/A1 = IF CNTR EQ 1 THEN '' ELSE ','; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE VAL_STR/A100V = LAST VAL_STR || COMMA || LJUST(12, COUNTRY, 'A12V');
   BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPHLD1
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TEMPHLD1
  SUM LST.VAL_STR
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPHLD2 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN

-READ TEMPHLD2 &VAL_STR.A100
-SET &VAL_STR = TRUNCATE(&VAL_STR);
-TYPE &|VAL_STR = &VAL_STR

Martin, Hallway,

I tried both of your versions. Martin's code does not give me any output. Hallway's code shows the values but still have the format length in front of it. I have pasted both the codes below and also the output.

Martin's Code

 
TABLE FILE MFD
PRINT
     GRAPH_COMMENTS/A256V
  BY GRAPH_COMMENTS NOPRINT
WHERE ( MFD.MFD.DF_AGENCY EQ &CF_AGENCY.(OR(FIND DF_AGENCY,MFD.MFD.DF_AGENCY IN MFD)).CF_AGENCY. ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.DF_YEAR EQ CURRENTCY_INT ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.CF_MONTH_INT LE CURRENTAYINT_LATEST ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.GRAPH_NO EQ '1.1' );
 ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-SET &XLINES = &LINES;
-SET &CNTR = 0;
-SET &COUNTRY_OUT = '';
-SET &COUNTRY     = '';
-REPEAT GET_DATA &XLINES TIMES
-READFILE HOLD1 
-SET &CNTR = &CNTR + 1;
-SET &COUNTRY_OUT = IF &CNTR EQ 1 THEN &COUNTRY || ',' ELSE 
-                   IF &CNTR EQ &XLINES THEN &COUNTRY_OUT || &COUNTRY ELSE &COUNTRY_OUT || &COUNTRY || ',';
-GET_DATA
-TYPE &COUNTRY_OUT
-*ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD2 FORMAT FLEX
-EXIT 


Output:
 0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE=        3  LINES=      3

Hallway's Code

 -DEFAULTH &VAL_STR = ''

TABLE FILE MFD
  SUM COMPUTE CNTR = LAST CNTR + 1; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE COMMA/A1 = IF CNTR EQ 1 THEN '' ELSE ','; NOPRINT
      COMPUTE VAL_STR/A256V = LAST VAL_STR || COMMA || LJUST(256, GRAPH_COMMENTS, 'A256V');
   BY GRAPH_COMMENTS NOPRINT
WHERE ( MFD.MFD.DF_AGENCY EQ &CF_AGENCY.(OR(FIND DF_AGENCY,MFD.MFD.DF_AGENCY IN MFD)).CF_AGENCY. ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.DF_YEAR EQ CURRENTCY_INT ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.CF_MONTH_INT LE CURRENTAYINT_LATEST ) AND

ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPHLD1
END
-RUN

-READ TEMPHLD2 &VAL_STR.A256

-EXIT 


Output:

 &VAL_STR = 000256dynamic text place holder for graph J03,dynamic text place holder for graph J06,dynamic text place holder for graph J07

 



The output I am looking for is just the text.

Desired Output:
 dynamic text place holder for graph J03,dynamic text place holder for graph J06,dynamic text place holder for graph J07 


Can you please suggest the changes in the code? Thanks.

Change this line of code from.


COMPUTE VAL_STR/A256V = LAST VAL_STR || COMMA || LJUST(256, GRAPH_COMMENTS, 'A256V');


to


COMPUTE VAL_STR/A256 = LAST VAL_STR || COMMA || LJUST(256, GRAPH_COMMENTS, 'A256');

or don't use format ALPHA with Hallway's Code:

TABLE FILE TEMPHLD1
SUM LST.VAL_STR
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPHLD2
END
-RUN

-READFILE TEMPHLD2
-SET VAL_STR = TRUNCATE(&VAL_STR);
-TYPE &|VAL_STR = &VAL_STR

Alternativly you can use Frans' solution Wink difference is that this is done in one TABLE request and using comma delimited output to put the comma's:

FILEDEF HOLD DISK hold.csv (LRECL 200 RECFM v
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM MAX.COUNTRY
ACROSS COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT COM
END
-RUN

-READ HOLD &VAL_STR.A200.
-TYPE &VAL_STR

-*if you don't need the double quotes:
-SET &VAL_STRING_STRIPPED = STRIP(&VAL_STR.LENGTH, &VAL_STR.QUOTEDSTRING, '"', 'A&VAL_STR.LENGTH');
-TYPE &VAL_STRING_STRIPPED
-EXIT

If GRAPH_COMMENTS is already a fix length don't change it to a variable length. And if it's a variable length, no need to change it again in variable length.
In my sample I have changed the format of COUNTRY to A10V because IB sample files don't have variable length.

With READFILE you don't need to reformat the field at all. READFILE will manage the length.

Martin,
The graph_comments column is a variable length column.

I used your original code but it is not retuning any data. It only gives output like I had posted in above reply. No values appearing only the commas. What do you suggest. Also in the response I only need the text as output. How do I get rid of the system generated text. Please see the output I had pasted above. Thank you.

Tom,

I am thankful to all the great cooks for helping me out in preparing the webfocus soufflé Smiler. Have learned a lot. I tried your modified code and I am almost there. The values are coming correctly as continuous text with comma. But the output also comes with the below shown text. How to get rid of it and have just the values? Can you please suggest? Thanks.

As far as I know, the above is not an error. It just telling you that you are not processing any displayable report since in your case, reason #2 is the cause.
It is just an warning.

You now have the data in an ampere variable - &GRAPH_COMMENTS_OUT
Do with it what you will...

You have no output, hence, the message...

Martin,

I agree, this is not an error. I assume it shows when the output is not coming from TABLE or a GRAPH. How do i get the values from &VAL_STRING_STRIPPED only?

Place this at the top of the program:
SET MSG = OFF

Just saw your message. Let me try. Will update.

Doesn't stop the message, you have no output. Continue with the program and use the variable for whatever you're doing...

Good Luck!

Thank you Everyone for the help. I got the output I was looking for. Here is the code just in case someone else runs in to the same requirement.

 ( MFD.MFD.DF_YEAR EQ CURRENTCY_INT ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.CF_MONTH_INT LE CURRENTAYINT_LATEST ) AND
 ( MFD.MFD.GRAPH_NO EQ '1.1' );
 ON TABLE SET HOLDLIST PRINTONLY
 ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 
END
-RUN
-SET &XLINES = &LINES;
