Hi Renji,

I've run into the same problem.

I think this is what happens:
When WF get a BYTOC it will do a 'SET COMPOUND CLOSE' before the last sheet.
So you can not make an extra sheet after that.

It will work if the LAST sheet is using BYTOC.

Other question is:
Why use a BYTOC if you have only 1 different value in your BY field?

Hi Renji, This part doesn't seem to be logical. If for a Unique Single data Compute field, what is the purpose of BY or even BYTOC ?


Thanks,

Hi Ramkumar,

Try running:
SET COMPOUND = OPEN
TABLE FILE CAR
COUNT MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET COMPOUND CLOSE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC
END

in the above you will get a summary tab plus a tab for each country
and then compare to:
SET COMPOUND = OPEN
TABLE FILE CAR
COUNT MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SET COMPOUND CLOSE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

in this one you will only get the tabs from the first part of the request.
Hence the need to put BYTOC on the second PCHOLD statement.

In your case I agree it's not logical but it will work.
nb. You must have at least one BY in each sub-request.
