[SLOVED]how to use &LINES ?
when i try to this

  

ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION CON01
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT * from table where field_flag='Y1';
END
-RUN
-IF &LINES EQ 0 GOTO MSG;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
END
-RUN

-*-SET &LINES=0;
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT * from table where field_flag='Y2';
END
-RUN
-IF &LINES  GOTO MSG;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
END
-RUN


-MSG




if the 1st select result count > 1 and the 2nd select result count =0,
the top code(the 2nd &LINES always >1 ) ,if I SET &LINES=0 , the 2nd &LINES always =0 ,
how can i get the &LINES well?

Thanks,
James

My guess is that &LINES is not being set if there are 0 records returned from the second SELECT.

Whats also interesting is that I always get 0, and only get &LINES set if I don'y use PREPARE SQLOUT FOR.

-*new file
-SET &ECHO=ALL;

SQL SQLMSS
SELECT * FROM sys.all_objects
WHERE name LIKE 'all%' ;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS TMP_OUT
END
-RUN
-TYPE 1st LINES: &LINES

-RUN
-IF &LINES EQ 0 GOTO MSG;

-*TABLE FILE TMP_OUT
-*PRINT *
-*END
-*-RUN

SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT * FROM sys.all_objects
WHERE name LIKE 'ALL%' ;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS TMP_OUT2
END
-RUN
-TYPE 2nd LINES: &LINES
-IF &LINES GT 0 GOTO MSG;

-*TABLE FILE SQLOUT
-*PRINT *
-*END
-*-RUN

-MSG
