Hi

I have a AHTML report and fields are displayed dynamically from double listbox on html page. Users have option to select their own fields and re-arrange in the order they want.

Is there a way to sort all the fields in the output? If the user selects 5 fields, they should be sorted by 1st field,then 2nd, then 3rd, 4th and 5th.

Tried few ways but did not work.
Appreciate your response.
thank you

Hi,

I guess you collect the listbox value in a variable and pass to the fex that generates AHTML. If you can assign the listbox values to parameters like &PARAM1 , &PARAM2 ... etc. Then use the below line to default sort them based on user field selection. 

BY &PARAM1 &PARAM2 &PARAM3 NOPRINT


Release : 7.7.02
OS : Linux
App Server : Tomcat
all output

I tried it. But I need to use NOPRINT as well and I am having problem there.

Fields come with AND between them and I am replacing them with BY. now I need to put NOPRINT as well and its not working fine.

-SET &INFL = '''FIELD1'' OR ''DLEIF2''';
-SET &OUTFL = STRREP (&INFL.LENGTH, &INFL, 10, ' OR ', 1, ',', &INFL.LENGTH, 'A&INFL.LENGTH');
-SET &STRING = &OUTFL;
-SET &SEARCHCHAR = ',';
-SET &STRING_LEN = &STRING.LENGTH;
-SET &CHARCOUNT = 0;
-SET &IDX = 1;

-REPEAT :EL1 WHILE &IDX LE &STRING_LEN;
-SET &CHARACTER = SUBSTR(&STRING_LEN, &STRING, &IDX,
-                 &IDX, 1, 'A1');
-SET &CHARCOUNT = IF &CHARACTER EQ &SEARCHCHAR THEN &CHARCOUNT + 1
-                 ELSE &CHARCOUNT;
-SET &IDX = &IDX + 1;
-:EL1

-SET &NUMELEMS = &CHARCOUNT+1;

-REPEAT EL2 FOR &CNTR FROM 1 TO &NUMELEMS
-SET &FIELDVAL&CNTR.EVAL = GETTOK(&OUTFL, &OUTFL.LENGTH, &CNTR, ',', 10, ' ');
-RUN
-EL2

-TYPE &FIELDVAL1
-TYPE &FIELDVAL2



With this above code, you can seperate the Values coming from the List box into seperate elements...

After that, have the count of the & FIELD VALUES set in a variable...


After TABLE FILE Request, Put a LOOP with that COUNTER and DO a BY inside based on &FIELDVAL&CNTR.EVAL . 

 
TABLE FILE SOANDSO
-REPEAT EL33 FOR &CNTR FROM 1 TO &CNTR
BY &FIELDVAL&CNTR.EVAL NOPRINT
-EL33
-RUN
END


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

This logic is dyanamic, and so this can be applied for any number of Field Name, and BY Fields.
