Hello everyone, I have an issue with matching two files and for some reason, it generates an error when running the report. The error is: (FOC063) WARNING. MATCH FIELDS HAVE SAME NAME BUT DIFFERENT FORMATS: PC_ID -DEFAULT &STARTDT = '20150201'; -DEFAULT &ENDDT = '20150701'; JOIN ID IN PTD TO ALL ID IN PER AS JOIN1 JOIN TYP IN PTD TO ALL ER_ID IN ER AS JOIN2 -* DEFINE FILE PTD RID/A10=GETTOK(ID,23,3,'*',10,RID); PC/A2=GETTOK(ID,23,2,'*',2,PC); END -* TABLE FILE PTD PRINT RID P_DAT PC_DAT COMPUTE ND/MDYY = IF PCD EQ MISSING THEN PAD ELSE PCD; COMPUTE PPD /MDYY = IF PCD EQ MISSING THEN PAD ELSE PCD; PA PTET E_DES PP_DEP PGN/A30 AS AGA_ID PC PC AS PC_ID BY RID NOPRINT WHERE PA GT 0 WHERE (PAD LE '&ENDDT' AND PAD GE '&STARTDT') OR (PCD LE '&ENDDT' AND PCD GE '&STARTDT') ON TABLE HOLD AS PART1 END -* MATCH FILE PART1 PRINT RID P_DAT PC_DAT ND PA PTET E_DES PP_DEP PGN PC BY PC_ID BY PPD RUN FILE TABLEX SUM PSD PED BY PC_ID BY PPD AFTER MATCH HOLD AS PART2 END . . . . . The problem is with "PC_ID" field. Its format in TABLEX is "A2V" and ID format in PTD is "A23V". I tried to make PC "A2V" but get the same error. I am stuck at this point. Any ideas?

Use a DEFINE to create a field on both files with the same format. WebFOCUS 8.1.05 / APP Studio | |||

I did DEFINE the file and assigned the appropriate format to PC in the beginning. Then I gave PC an alias in the HOLD file. The second file used in MATCH has a filed named PC that has the same format as the defined first field. Where do you suggest I Define the file. Also, do I need to do it for the Hold file or the original file? Ali WebFOCUS Developer Studio 8104 / Windows 7 / HTML and Excel | |||

Both fields PC_ID and PPD from both files PART1 and TABLEX need to have the same format. In other words: PART1.PC_ID same format as TABLEX.PC_ID or vice versa and PART1.PPD same format as TABLEX.PPD or vice versa In a MATCH, all same BY field across files must have the same format, name and be in the same order. The BY fields are the "key" to match your files so they need to be placed in the same order, have the same format and have the same name. At worst for the name you can do something such as: MATCH FILE Y PRINT Fld1 BY Fld2 AS 'BY1' BY Fld3 AS 'BY2' RUN FILE Y PRINT Fld9 BY BY1 BY BY2 AFTER MATCH HOLD AS Z OLD-AND-NEW END It is also important to provide the Matching verb that you want: OLD-OR-NEW OLD-AND-NEW OLD-NOR-NEW OLD-NOT-NEW NEW-NOT-OLD OLD NEW It will avoid confusion on action performed by the MATCH.
