I have a table like
  TPOL

POL_ID              
POL_CSTAT          * STATUS CAN TELL PENDING OR NOT
POL_APP_RECVD_DT   * APPLICATION RECEIVE DT 
POL_UW_DESC_TYPE   * FINAL DECISION TYPE, 
POL_UW_DESC_DT     * DECISION MADE DT


I have a requirement to generate a report like:
  
Week Ending		Inventory
2-Mar-07		         337
9-Mar-07		         390
16-Mar-07		         369
23-Mar-07		         329
30-Mar-07		         380


The week ending is based on policy applicaction received date.. The formula to get the
previous inventory = current inventory - final action(from previous to current) + received(from previous to current)

The logic to get the report is,

1. Say current date is 16Aug2007, and I need to generate inventory report from 01Mar07 to 30Mar-07.
2. Check POL to get the count of pending policies, say for example is 400.
3. check POL to get the count final action(final underwriting decision made) during 31Mar07 to 16Aug07, say for example is 200.
4. check POL to get the count Received(application received) during 31Mar07 to 16Aug07, say for example is 180.
5. apply formula 400 - 200 + 180 = 380

That how you get 380 in the report. Is it possible to generate in webfocus? Thanks


Regards,

Jacky

If I may, let me ask a question first. We use the same type of report (I work in insurance as well).
Since you have dates of final action, wouldn't it just be easier to count the number of policies that were pending (app received) on or before 01Mar07 that had final action sometime after 30Mar07. This should give you the number that were pending on 30Mar07.

yes....

but I understand my answer is not very clear.
neither is you question.

It would be helpful to explane a bit more of your database table TPOL
post a bit of the data.

Status can tell pending or not: what values can this be
application receive dt: is this a date field?

etc

you can make querys like

count number of records by POL_CSTAT
by date etc

we need however a bit more info.

hm.. I should consider Darin's suggestion..

here is data sample:
POL_ID = 'J000001'
POL_CSTAT = '1'   * '1' - IN FORCE, 'P' - PENDING
POL_APP_RECVDDT = '07MAR2007'
POL_UW_DESC_TYPE = 'A'  * 'A' - APPROVED, 'P' PENDING, 'R' REJECTED'
POL_UW_DESC_DT = '28MAR2007'

Jacky

That would be total final action after 30Mar07. If the final action were before 30Mar, they would not be pending on 30Mar.

you can just use a COMPUTE for that functionality:
COMPUTE AGG_COUNT/I9=AGG_COUNT + countfld;
