[SOLVED] Creating a column for a business view on a cluster join

Hi Everyone,

I have a cluster join which is created joining 5 synonyms S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 etc. I need to create a column for a business view using this cluster join where the condition for the column in SQL is "Select S1.column1 where S2.column3='ZZ'". How do I do this in WebFocus in a define field? Is there any better approach to accomplish this?

Insert a DEFEINEd expression into the synonym that says something like this:

IF S2.COLUMN3 NE 'ZZ' THEN MISSING ELSE S1.COLUMN1

make sure you have MISSING ON. This is an example for car sample file:

UKSALES/D12.2 MISSING ON=IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' THEN SALES ELSE MISSING;

In the column S2.Column3 there are only 3 distinct values, Is there a way I can create a new define/compute field based on the condition "Select S1.column1 where S2.column3='ZZ'" where when a user selects the column in the business view it will prompt and ask the user to pick 1 out of 3 values?

values available in the column S2.Column3 are 'ZX','ZY' and'ZZ'.

Note: This column need to be created on a business view.

Look up ACCEPT VALUES in the doc on creating synonyms. I think that might be one possible solution.
