Trouble with Multiple SQL Passthrough Statements

Are you permitted to have multiple SQL Passthrough Statments? I have a report that the users drill down to (it's a PDF document that they have to send to our customer). When they get to that report, I want to run a SQL Update statement to fill in a date on the SQL table so they know they generated the PDF for that sale. The report originally used the results from a SQL procedure as its data. Now, when I try to add in this additional SQL Update statement, I get an error saying that SQLOUT is not defined.
Any help would be appreciated!

You need to process the SQLOUT after each SQL statement -

SQL
  UPDATE tablename
     SET columnname = 'value'
;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
END
SQL
  UPDATE tablename
     SET columnname = 'value'
;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
END

An easier way of doing this is to rename your SQLOUT.
SQL
SELECT *
FROM tablename
;
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1
END
-RUN
You can then use your SQLOUT files as you would any other focus file.

PB,

I think you might have missed the point here. MED wanted to process multiple SQL statements not keep hold of the SQLOUT contents (which would be blank anyway on updates and deletes).

But in any case, please update your signature as per this friendly reminder Smiler

I don't think you need the TABLE and HOLD syntax if you're not expecting to return any data.

I have this working in a program:

SET SQLENGINE = SQLMSS
SQL SET SERVER EIDW
-RUN

SQL INSERT EIDW.dbo.SAPI_Save
(
ReportGuid,
SavedDateTime,
...
)

VALUES
(
(newid()),
'&CURR_DATE &CURR_TIME...000',
...
)
END
-RUN

No SQLOUT, no TABLE, no HOLD.

Franics,

That is a single SQL statement and it is still terminated by the END statement which amounts to the same thing as the TABLE FILE ....

Probably the better method as no extraneous code lurks about serving to confuse the poor support person who's been left with the code Wink

I have this in a dialogue manager loop - the code is executed several times:

SQL INSERT EIDW.dbo.Filter
(ReportGuid, FilterID, FilterValueCount, FilterValueString)
VALUES ('&REPORTGUID', 'C&FILT.EVAL', &C&FILT.EVAL0,
'&FILT_STR')
END
-RUN

I didn't realize there was an implicit TABLE FILE after each SQL statement.

I think that the END statement does that?
