Hi all,

I am working on a report where I have a sql statement which will get the items, after that I need to run another query to extract the data, based on the items returned earlier. I have to pass those item values in the where clause of the next query. How do I achieve this? How do I store the items returned in the first query and retrieve them and pass each item in the where clause of the next query?

Please, experts out there tell me the ways of doing it.

Thanks in advance,
Geetha

Depending on the amount of data brought back by the first query. You could have the first query create a file with the each value on a seperate line and then use the WebFOCUS

WHERE <FIELDNAME> IN FILE <FILENAME>

FIELDNAME is the field that you want the where place on and FILENAME is the FILEDEF name that points to the file.

Hope this helps

You can also try something like this...
SQL
SELECT * FROM TABLE1 WHERE NEWITEM IN (SELECT ITEMS FROM TABLE B )
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1
END

TABLE FILE HOLD1
PRINT *
END

I would just add to Kalyan's answer that once you create 'Hold1', it is available to be reported against for the remainder of your file. So, once you create hold1, you can run as many reports against it as you see fit. In WebFOCUS, though, you will have to do all of the reports in one fex if you don't FILEDEF the results set (which is a whole other issue), so I'd stick with just writing numerous reports in one fex for now until you get the feel of it.
