[CLOSED] View generated sql query using view source
Hi,

(new to webfocus)

I am trying to get "view source" of the executed sql code/query.

Action: - trying to get view source code when clicking the EXCEL button (Exported to EXCEL where the query is excuted)


When using the below on the top of the file.

SET XRETRIEVAL=OFF
SET TRACEOFF = ALL
SET TRACEON=STMTRACE
SET TRACEON = SQLAGGR//CLIENT
SET TRACEON = STMTRACE//CLIENT
SET TRACEON = STMTRACE/2/CLIENT
SET TRACEUSER = ON


I get
Error number: -3706


Another option I could think of is saving the query to variable and send it to alert message? But was unsuccessful in getting the query.


the below shows the output of the table.
-*
.......
TABLEF
ON TABLE HOLD AS APPLE FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-SET &ECHO=OFF;
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<script>
alert("Query : " + !IBI.FIL.APPLEWink;

-HTMLFORM END
-RUN
-EXIT
-*



Any suggestions.

Thanks.

Welcome to Focal Point! If you add -SET &ECHO=ALL; as the first line of your fex and after you run it view the source of the output and scroll to the bottom, it will display the SQL generated. Your output needs to be HTML in order for this to work.

Out of curiosity, which DBMS are you accessing?


Thank you for using Focal Point!

I am connecting to Teradata.

I am able to see it now.

Thanks again.
