Hi all,

I need help converting alphanumeric variable value from hold file to numeric value (with thousands separator). Can some one please help in accomplishing this using a set command?
My code is as below.



-DEFAULTH &TGT = '';

TABLE FILE GRAPHD
SUM
Target/P17M
ON TABLE HOLD AS TARGETHOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END

-RUN

-READ TARGETHOLD &TGT


-TYPE &TGT



Thanks,



thanks,

Hi ... I tried your example (using the CAR file) but the -TYPE statement didn't display anything ...

Here is an example of -SET commands using the FPRINT and LJUST functions ... maybe this will help

-SET &TRGT = 123456789;
-SET &TRGT1 = FPRINT('&TRGT.EVAL','P17M','A25');
-SET &TRGT2 = LJUST(25,FPRINT('&TRGT.EVAL','P17M','A25'),'A25');
-*
-TYPE ---------------------------------------------------
-TYPE TRGT ---------------- &TRGT
-TYPE TRGT1 --------------- &TRGT1
-TYPE TRGT2 --------------- &TRGT2
-TYPE ---------------------------------------------------

Here's another example using the CAR file and the -READFILE command ... maybe this is something of interest to you ...

Can be used to set several variables ...

-*
DEFINE FILE CAR
TARGET/P17M WITH COUNTRY = 123456789;
TARGET_FPRINT/A25 = FPRINT(TARGET,'P17M','A25');
TARGET_LJUST_FPRINT/A25 = LJUST(25,FPRINT(TARGET,'P17M','A25'),'A25');
END
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
CAR
TARGET
TARGET_FPRINT
TARGET_LJUST_FPRINT
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD_VARS
END
-RUN
-READFILE HLD_VARS
-TYPE ---------------------------------------------------
-TYPE COUNTRY ---------------- &COUNTRY
-TYPE CAR -------------------- &CAR
-TYPE TARGET ----------------- &TARGET
-TYPE TARGET_FPRINT ---------- &TARGET_FPRINT
-TYPE TARGET_LJUST_FPRINT ---- &TARGET_LJUST_FPRINT
-TYPE ---------------------------------------------------

stephenc,

Something like this:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
DCOST
ON TABLE HOLD AS COST FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN

-READ COST &DCOST.A7.
-SET &COST = FPRINT('&DCOST.EVAL', 'D7', 'A15');
-TYPE &COST


should work if the field you want to show thousands separators either defaults to such or specifies such in the master file description.


8.2.02M (production), 8.2.02M (test), Windows 10, all outputs.
