I am using field (which stores Day of week) in across. I want in the output
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday

But right now the days value is getting sorted either in ascending or descending order.

Could you please tell me a solution for this?

Thanks

Use the Day-of-Week Date format, WR or wr. If the date is not a date format date convert it and then define a new field that is just the Day-of-Week.

DEFINE FILE GGORDER
ORDER_DAY/wr = ORDER_DATE
END
TABLE FILE GGORDER
COUNT
ORDER_NUMBER
ACROSS ORDER_DAY
BY PRODUCT_CODE
END

Deepa,

Check out the documentation for the syntax of ACROSS fieldname COLUMNS fieldvalue AND fieldvalue etc. In your case it would be -

ACROSS weekdayfieldname COLUMNS 'Monday' AND 'Tuesday' etc.

I would recommend you reading the manual though as it will give you more insight.

And please, update your signature as per this topic.

If you update your signature we all know what version you use.

Are these day of the week fields alpha fields? Then you have to sort them in the report.
I would suggest using smartdate fields they are sorted in the normal sort order.

You can force the sorting in many ways.

1) ad the command line
COLUMNS MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND etc...

2) In a define ad a decode field that says MONDAY = 1 etc
use that extra field as the first BY field (NOPRINT)
