Hi All,

I have an Issue in QA environment.I want to filter out some of the dates from the field called Reported_date ,those are in YYMD format and total 16 values ,

WHERE Reported_Date NE '1900/12/31' OR '2008/01/01' OR '2008/01/21' OR '2008/03/21' OR '2008/03/24' OR '2008/05/26' OR '2008/07/04' OR '2008/09/01' OR '2008/11/27' OR '2008/11/28' OR '2008/12/24' OR '2008/12/25' OR '2008/12/26' OR '2008/12/29' OR '2008/12/30' OR '2008/12/31';

when I ran the report Iam getting EDASERVER Crashed Error Message

But ,If I give only 12 out of 16 Date values Report is working fine..

Any suggestions,,

Thanks in Advance,
Saikumar

What's the Format of Reported_Date?


Try using IN:
WHERE NOT ( Reported_Date IN (
'1900/12/31', '2008/01/01', '2008/01/21', '2008/03/21', '2008/03/24',
'2008/05/26', '2008/07/04', '2008/09/01', '2008/11/27', '2008/11/28',
'2008/12/24', '2008/12/25', '2008/12/26', '2008/12/29', '2008/12/30',
'2008/12/31') ) ;

What is the data source?

If the format is YYMD, then you don't need quotes and slashes unless the backend data base requires them.

And it looks like you could use a HOLIDAY file.

Thanks, you All I got the solution.

Reported_date format is YYMD It's DEFINE Master file field.


If I want to use the holiday file ,Can I use qutoes or commas for each value of the date in the text file.

Thanks,
Saikumar.

You do realize, I hope, that by setting your selection criteria against a DEFINEd field, you could be creating a great deal of inefficiency. Your process would still need to read EVERY record, calculating your DEFINE field value and THEN throwing out the records that don't meet your criteria. You would be MUCH better off to use the REAL field that your define is based on. Guess it depends on the size of your database.
