I have a very simple routine that reads records from DB2 with the following format in the SQL Statement box:

select * from alert

I select records from one database this way, write them all to another. When I run this routine the ETLLog shows the number of records written to my destination table, but it does not show the number of records read.

Yes, in theory every record should write and it should be a perfectly even match, or an error thrown if not. But I have been given a requirement to show both the number of records read and the number of records written for accounting purposes, and I'm trying to figure out a way to get the records-read count to appear.

I can put '-TYPE &RECORDS' after the select command, and it prints the number of records read. But, I can't close the box and save the routine. It throws an error.

Any suggestions? Looking at SQL options but don't see one that fits the bill.

I saw Clif replied to your post on the iWay forum. I am going to close this one.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

The problem is that Clif did not provide me with a suitable solution, and nobody reads the I-Way forums. That's why I post to WebFOCUS as well. If I don't do that I never get an answer for I-Way problems.

What I read appears to be the way you are doing the load. A load from memory which is the recommended way for performance reasons does not provide a record count. You could run a post procedure that creates a report against the table loaded to get the number of records in the table.


TABLE FILE whatever
SUM CNT.FIELDNAME AS 'Record Count'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END

Filedef a file, -WRITE &RECORDS and/or &LINES after your Select, then, -READ when you want to retrieve the records:
  
-SET &FILE_NAME = 'rec_cnt_' || &YYMD || '.txt';
APP FILEDEF REC_CNT DISK C:\ibi\apps\baseapp\&FILE_NAME 
-RUN
TABLE FILE IBISAMP/CAR
PRINT *
  ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
-WRITE REC_CNT &RECORDS &LINES
-RUN
