Hi all,

I need to create a generic fex that will take a MFD and put the Fieldnames in the first column and the extracted rows in thier own unique column.
fieldname trans1 trans2 trans3
NAME ABC DEF XYZ
QTY 123 465 256
AMT 5.2 3.4 7.3

At present I have 38 tables/reports that I need to do this to. Can someone help?

I don't have time to work this all out but you can use CHECK FILE filename HOLD and use FIELDNAME BY FLDNO to get all the columns and the order.

Then when you query the file, you will have to assign a column number to each column and invert the matrix.

Then you can join the two together by the fldno.

Just a couple of thoughts to get you started.

This might help:
TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT NAME 
-* required as this is a multipath file
IF SEGNO LE 5
IF TBNAME EQ CAR
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
-SET &TLINES=&LINES
TABLE FILE HOLD
SUM NAME
ON TABLE SAVE
END
-RUN
-READ SAVE &NAME.A66
DEFINE FILE CAR
CNTR/F8 WITH &NAME =CNTR+1;
COLNAME/A15 = 'Trans'|| FTOA(CNTR,'(F5)','A5');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
-SET &CNTR = 0;
-REPEAT :LOOP &TLINES TIMES
-SET &CNTR=&CNTR+1;
-SET  &OVER = IF &CNTR EQ &TLINES THEN ' ' ELSE 'OVER';
-READ HOLD &FLD.A66.
&FLD &OVER
-:LOOP
ACROSS COLNAME AS ''
END

The filename can also be a &var if necessary. (SYSCOLUM is a supplied mfd)

Alan - Thanks it works for a limited number of rows. At present I am working with a max of 63 columns with around 7,000 rows. When I use this code it gives " (FOC153) VERB OBJECTS TIMES RETRIEVED COLUMNS EXCEEDS MAXIMUM". What is the limit of using OVER 15??

The message says it all.

There is not a limit, per se, on OVER, but in conjunction with the number of values retrieved (which will be the number of columns you are getting) you have hit a limit somewhere, but not sure what it is.

Perhaps you can run with limited vales and APPEND files together.
