[SOLVED] Bottom 90 Percent of Values

I've got a list of values from my hold file, and I need to only display the bottom 90% of the records based on the sorting of one of the fields.

So I'm:
1. Calculating the number of records in the hold file, and assigning that to a variable.

2. Calculating 90% of the number that was assigned to the variable.

3. Sorting the output file on the same sort field that was used to calculate the number of records, and setting the recordlimit of the output file equal to the number resulting from step #2.

This gives me the correct number of records, but not the correct records based on the sort field.

Is this even possible?

My code:

TABLE FILE BASELINE
PRINT
CAGE_CODE AS 'CAGE_CODE'
CYCLE_DAYS AS 'CYCLE_DAYS'

WHERE CYCLE_DAYS NE 0

ON TABLE HOLD AS 'TOTAL01'
END
-RUN

-SET &TOTAL01= &RECORDS;
-SET &TOTAL01PCT= &RECORDS * .90;

TABLE FILE TOTAL01
PRINT
TOTAL01.CAGE_CODE AS 'CAGE_CODE'
TOTAL01.CYCLE_DAYS AS 'CYCLE_DAYS'

BY LOWEST CYCLE_DAYS NOPRINT

WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ &TOTAL01PCT

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K 
END
-EXIT

You need to have the same BY in both TABLE FILEs...

Maybe something like this:

TABLE FILE GGORDER
PRINT *
BY QUANTITY NOPRINT
ON TABLE HOLD AS H001
END
-RUN

-SET &TOTAL01    = &LINES;
-SET &TOTAL01PCT = &LINES * .90;

-TYPE &TOTAL01 &TOTAL01PCT

TABLE FILE GGORDER
PRINT *
BY QUANTITY NOPRINT

WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ &TOTAL01PCT
HEADING
"Total Count: &TOTAL01 / 90%: &TOTAL01PCT"
END
-RUN

CWM,

When I read the subject of your thread, I thought that you wanted the bottom 90% of the values of a field. Then after reading, I understood that you wanted the bottom 90% of records.

Just in case you are also interested in values, here is a possible solution:
-* File CWM01.fex
TABLE FILE GGORDER
SUM QUANTITY 
PRINT QUANTITY
COMPUTE CUMQUANT/I8=CUMQUANT + C2; 
COMPUTE PCTCUMQUANT/D7.2=CUMQUANT * 100 / C1; 
BY QUANTITY
WHERE TOTAL PCTCUMQUANT LE 90;
END

Thank you for the code. That was actually a question I had asked my customer earlier for clarification as well.

They are looking for the bottom 90% of records. So if there are 10 records that meet the criteria, they only want to see records 2-10.
