[CLOSED] OLAP with SQL passthru

Hi,

I have an SQL passthru that performs a union operation.
I do a TABLE FILE SQLOUT and save the output as ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT FOCUS.
I again perform some operations on this HOLD file and do a ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE.
The report works fine when I run it. But, When I OLAP enable this report , it does not work!

How would I get around this problem?

Thanks.

Create a synonym for the sql statement. To do this, create a file (xxx.sql) and put it on the file system where the WFRS is located. Then go to create a new synonym in either Dev Studio or the WFRS console. When you create a new synonym, select external SQL scripts as the source. Once a master has been created for the sql statement, you should be able to olap enable the report that is driven from it with no issues.

That seems like what I need. I'll try it out.
Thanks!

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE

You should not use HTMTABLE for OLAP as it does not generate the required javascript.

To see what I mean do a view source against the outputs from the following examples

-OLAP ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DEALER_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END

and

-OLAP ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT DEALER_COST
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE
END
-RUN
-HTMLFORM HOLD
-* This is the correct way to display HTMTABLE output
-* PCHOLD FORMAT HTMTABLE is not valid as it generates an incomplete HTML document, It's only the table.
