You want header and footer records in a CSV file? Then your answer may lay in filedefing your output file ahead of the report in APPEND mode, then write your header to the file, run the report into the file followed by writing the footer.

To obtain record counts to go into the header, you would need to preprocess the data to obtain the system variable for the number of records.

If you know WebFOCUS and dialogue manager then this should be easy.

Don't need the preprocess step

Create the CSV as COM not COMT
Put the value of &RECORDS into an other variable
Filedef the generated file using (APPEND
-WRITE the extra data required

e.g.
TABLE FILE blablabla
PRINT col1 col2 col3 etc.
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT COM
END
-RUN
-SET &CSVROWS = &RECORDS;
FILEDEF HOLD DISK HOLD.CSV (APPEND
-RUN
-WRITE HOLD "col1","col2","col3",'etc."
-WRITE HOLD RECORDS= &CSVROWS

Or whatever information is required by the application you are creating the file for.

JG, Preprocess only for a heading if required, as in -

Otherwise exactly as I suggested? The sun must be getting to you Wink

HI,

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the bewlo code :

  
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
COUNTRY
CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD1 
END

TABLE FILE HLD1
PRINT
*
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT COM
END
-RUN
-SET &CSVROWS = &RECORDS;
FILEDEF HOLD DISK HLD1.CSV (APPEND
-RUN
-WRITE HOLD "COUNTRY","CAR"
-WRITE HOLD RECORDS= &CSVROWS


When i try the above code , i get the output as


ENGLAND","JAGUAR" "ENGLAND","JENSEN" "ENGLAND","TRIUMPH" "JAPAN","DATSUN" "JAPAN","TOYOTA" "ITALY","ALFA ROMEO" "ITALY","MASERATI" "W GERMANY","AUDI" "W GERMANY","BMW" "FRANCE","PEUGEOT"

I do not find the total records geeting appended.Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks!

The item you are getting wrong is not understanding the difference between PCHOLD and HOLD. Reread JG's post, go look at a manual or read other recent posts about it to understand. Then apply what you learn.

Hi,

Sorry it was just a syntax mistake . I did exactly as what JG had said. I did not get the total no of records appended.

Thanks!

May I suggest you use &LINES and not &RECORDS to determine the number of lines in the hold file? &RECORDS is a count of the number of rows read and not the number of rows in the output. With a PRINT there is no difference between &RECORDS and &LINES, but with a SUM there is.

FILEDEF HLD1 DISK HLD1.CSV (APPEND
-RUN

-WRITE HLD1 "COUNTRY","CAR"

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
COUNTRY
CAR
ON TABLE HOLD AS HLD1 FORMAT COM
END
-RUN

-SET &CSVROWS = &LINES;

-WRITE HLD1 RECORDS= &CSVROWS
