When I run the below code I get only SEATS as column names, any idea how to get the CAR names in the column title

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SEATS
BY COUNTRY
ACROSS CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMP
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TEMP
PRINT *
END

If you are going to hold your data prior to printing it out then there is no reason to use an across phrase - just use BY.

Once you have the held data, then report on it using the ACROSS phrase -
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SEATS
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPFILE
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE TEMPFILE
SUM SEATS
BY COUNTRY
ACROSS CAR
END


I take it that this is just an example of a much larger process as there is little point in holding the first extract to then report upon it, you might as well do it in one pass!

Tony, i wanted an output in this format.

COUNTRY BMW BENZ AUDI
ENGLAND . 8 .
ITALY 9 . .
JAPAN 6 9 .

so that i can refer BMW, BENZ, AUDI as separate columns for further processing. Not sure if this is possible.

Sathish..
just don't hold the interim file, as T says.
the creation of special across names
'seaengland' 'seafrance' etc, is a very useful feature of webfocus, concatenating the first three letters of the measurename and the across field value. This will be very useful, as your programming talents grow.
If you must hold and retable, then
SET ASNAMES = ON
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SEATS AS '' BY COUNTRY ACROSS CAR
ON TABLE HOLD
END
TABLE FILE HOLD PRINT *
END

Sorry for opening this way old thread...

But if I am making this as 

 ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD1 FORMAT FOCUS


Then the column names are not retained... Any SET commands to have that?


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

The thing is TITLE='', $ is how it is setting up in the master file it is creating for the focus mart.

Having an intermediate HOLD file resolved the issue.
