I copied this code straight from the ebook to use on the demo database that is provided with Report Studio. I put it in a procedure (fex) and tried to run it and got this error. First the code:

-This procedure reports on Inventory
-by state, storename and product name.
TABLE FILE CENTORD
SUM QTY_IN_STOCK BY STATE BY STORENAME BY PRODNAME
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Inventory Report"
WHERE STATE EQ '&STATE'
WHERE STORENAME EQ '&STORENAME'
WHERE PRODNAME EQ '&PRODNAME'
END

The error (FO205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED" CENTORD
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND.



WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? I WOULD THINK AN EXAMPLE FROM THEIR BOOK SHOULD RUN ON THEIR DATABASE.

When WebFOCUS was installed, was the standard demo installed? It ususally goes in a directory called ibinccen.

If that was done, is this directory name in the global path, i.e. edasprof.prf. Or if the directory exists and it is not in edasprof.prf, you can put an APP PREPENDPATH ibinccen statement at the beginning of your focexec.

If the directory doesn't exist, you will have to talk to the person who did the installation to get the demo directories created. At my shop which is also a Unix shop, I am the installer and I always make sure that the demo directories exist and are available to everyone.

I would suggest to create a project in EDA and call that "training" now create the proper path for this project to the training masters as Ginny pointed out.

Build several fexes as this one in the training folder.

maybe read the manual first on how to do this, or get some training from IBI

As Ginny says it's about the APP PATH in edasprof.prf

By default ibinccen (or the language variant) are not added to the PATH.
The options are as stated, either add it to the path in edasprof or use
APP PREPENDPATH/APPENDPATH

Also by default the demo datasources are not loaded so you will need to run the load job.

It's all documented in the installation manual.

Hi

Most probably the file centord.mas is missing.
That has happened with me too.

The responses above have told you how to fix the problem, but none of them told you what the error message means. In short it means the program can not find your master file description.

As CENTORD exists in the IBINCCEN app directory, I don't believe it is part of the default app path.

Check and see if the IBINCCEN directory exists, and CENTORD mas and foc files are in it.

Add APP PATH IBINCCEN before the report
