New TIBCO Community Coming Soon
In early summer, TIBCO plans to launch a new community—with a new user experience, enhanced search, and expanded capabilities for member engagement with answers and discussions! In advance of that, the current myibi community will be retired on April 30. We will continue to provide updates here on both the retirement of myibi and the new community launch.

What You Need to Know about Our New Community
We value the wealth of knowledge and engagement shared by community members and hope the new community will continue cultivating networking, knowledge sharing, and discussion.

During the transition period, from April 20th until the new community is launched this summer, myibi users should access the TIBCO WebFOCUS page to engage.

At which point, or from where, are you wanting to call another maintain process and pass parameters?

The Maintain command to have one Maintain perform another Maintain is CALL. You can CALL one Maintain from another and pass stacks of data between them. You just have to remember to INFER the stack in the CALLd Maintain. An example would be:

-* Maintain1
MAINTAIN FILE Movies
For ALL Next Moviecode into MOVSTK
CALL Maintain2 from MOVSTK
END

-Maintain2
MAINTAIN FILE Movies from MOVSTK
Infer Moviecode into MOVSTK
-* Now you can use the data that was loaded into the MOVSTK in Maintain1
END

This is in the training course and in the manuals. You should have training and you should read the manuals. In the base form:

CALL Maintain_procedure [AT server] [KEEP|DROP] [PATH {VAR|LIST}] [FROM var_list] [INTO var_list] [;]


You can CALL from multiple stacks and simple variables.

The items that MUST match in the call and receiving Maintain Commands:
Number of items
Sequence of items
Data Types
Stack Column Names

The items that need not match:
Stack and variable names
Length and precision

If a single Stack cell is passed, it must be received as a simple variable.
You cannot pass variables or stacks using A0 or Stack of formats.
Stacks and variables can be passed back using the INTO option, FROM Stacks and variables are not passed back and remain unchanged in the host process.

So, as Alan points out, multiple stacks can be passed to and from a CALL'd procedure from the parent. Just list them on the CALL command line...


-* Maintain1
MAINTAIN FILE Movies
For 10 Next Moviecode into MOVSTK1
For 10 Next Moviecode into MOVSTK2
For 10 Next Moviecode into MOVSTK3

CALL Maintain2 from MOVSTK1 MOVSTK2 MOVSTK3
END

-Maintain2
MAINTAIN FILE Movies from MOVSTK1 MOVSTK2 MOVSTK3
Infer Moviecode into MOVSTK1
Infer Moviecode into MOVSTK2
Infer Moviecode into MOVSTK3
-* Now you can use the data that was loaded into the MOVSTK1, NOVSTK2 and MOVSTK3 in Maintain1
END

Please check out the manuals and take training.

A simple stack can contain data from any single source.

All you have to do is try.

I absolutely agree with Alan that taking Maintain training is the best way to learn how to use the product. Having said that, you can use up to 15 different data sources with the Maintain product. Each stack can contain one database path. So...

-* Maintain1
MAINTAIN FILE Movies AND CAR
For 10 Next Moviecode into MOVSTK1
For ALL Next Country Car into CARSTK1

CALL Maintain2 from MOVSTK1 CARSTK1
END

-Maintain2
MAINTAIN FILE Movies AND CAR from MOVSTK1 CARSTK1
Infer Moviecode into MOVSTK1
Infer Country Car into CARSTK1
-* Now you can use the data that was loaded into the MOVSTK1 and CARSTK1 in Maintain2
END
