I am trying to change the column heading in a FML report base on a define field - for some reason it does not recognize the define field.
THESE ARE MY DEFINES:

YR1_TITLE/A11 = IF 'SERVICEMONTH' EQ 'December' THEN (' ' | '&YR1') ELSE (PREVYR1A | ' - ' | CURYR1A );
YR2_TITLE/A11 = IF 'SERVICEMONTH' EQ 'December' THEN (' ' | '&YR2') ELSE (PREVYR2A | ' - ' | CURYR2A );
YR3_TITLE/A11 = IF 'SERVICEMONTH' EQ 'December' THEN (' ' | '&YR3') ELSE (PREVYR3A | ' - ' | CURYR3A );
END

TABLE FILE HLDXALL
SUM
COMPUTE SERVMONTH/Mtr = SERVICEMONTH; AS 'Service Month'
YR1_COUNT AS '&YR1_TITLE'

HERE YOU SEE I AM TRYING TO CHANGE THE HEADING VALUE WITH THE 'AS' BUT THE YR1_TITLE FIELD ACCORDING TO FOCUS DOES NOT EXIST

ANY SUGGESTIONS

You are intermixing dialogue manager and table the wrong way around.

A TABLE or DEFINE can utilise &variables, but you are creating a field in a DEFINE that you then refer to as an &variable.

Dialogue Manager is a control language with &variables and lines that begin with a '-'; &variables are constructed with a -SET only.

Now I am not sure how to achieve what you want here, with any ease, but your approach cannot work.

An approach may be to use the DEFINEd fields in a heading, positioning over each column, and use AS '' for the fields.

Here is some of the code I used to create the column headings:
-IF &SELECTMONTH = 'December' GOTO ONEYEAR;
-SET &PREVYR1 = &YR1 - 1;
-SET &PREVYR2 = &YR2 - 1;
-SET &PREVYR3 = &YR3 - 1;
-SET &DASH = '-';
-SET &HEADYR1 = &PREVYR1 | &DASH | &YR1;
-SET &HEADYR2 = &PREVYR2 | &DASH | &YR2;
-SET &HEADYR3 = &PREVYR3 | &DASH | &YR3;
-GOTO REPORT
-ONEYEAR
-SET &HEADYR1 = &YR1;
-SET &HEADYR2 = &YR2;
-SET &HEADYR3 = &YR3;

Now in the report - this is the code:

TABLE FILE HLDXALL
SUM
YR1_COUNT/I10C AS '&HEADYR1'
YR2_COUNT/I10C AS '&HEADYR2'
COMPUTE PC21/P6.2% = ( ( YR2_COUNT - YR1_COUNT ) / YR1_COUNT ) * 100;
AS 'Percent Change'
YR3_COUNT/I10C AS '&HEADYR3'


Hope this helps somebody

If this is truly a snippet of your code, then there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it. Your original post stated that the DEFINE wasn't working. Alan B explained you were incorrectly mixing Dialogue Manager and WebFOCUS code.

What's wrong with the latest version of the code?

Are you getting an error message?
