Hi


SQL SQLORA

SELECT 'A' A FROM DUAL;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD
END

TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT
*
COMPUTE B/A10 = "a" | A ;
END

**************************************

My Intention is to print B as "aA" . Rather than using the value in the dual i want to concatenate the "a" with A and print it as "aA".

So i use the following code to print. But it throws the follwoing error though the result is an alphanumeric.


(FOC282) RESULT OF EXPRESSION IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE FORMAT OF FIELD: B
(FOC009) INCOMPLETE REQUEST STATEMENT
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND

So any resolutions ??

what is the picture of your original field "A" ?

if this is p.e. A15 or D7.2 or YYMD you can not concatenate the "a" and that field, it should fit.

Have you tried changing the double quote mark to a single quote mark in the above. If the length of A is 9 or less what you have will work, however as Frank says if it isn't alpha it won't until converted.

Like Frank says, I would first inquire the field format of the field A in your hold file by using this command -

? HOLD holdfilename

Make sure it is what you think it should be and then do the concatenation.

All

like every one said the length of the A in the hold file is 32.


*************** HOLD FILE *********************
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 1 LINES= 1
0DEFINITION OF HOLD FILE: HOLD
0FIELDNAME ALIAS FORMAT
A E01 A32 MISSING = ON

***********************************************

So when i used as A33 , it worked.
But can anyone say why it is taking defaultly as 32 for just a single character. ??
