Has anyone used the SQL term CONNECT BY? CONNECT BY is a hierarchy request. I'm looking to insert this phrase in the midst of a where clause.

Winston,

I'm not an SQL expert but here is a sample using CONNECT BY command that was written by someone in my office :

 SQL      SQLORA

 SELECT   HA_USERLEVEL 

 FROM     HABILITATION_ARBO

 START    WITH HA_USERLEVEL     = '&p_cc'
 AND           HC_HABCODE       = 'CC'
 AND           HA_CDBANK        = '&p_bank'

 CONNECT  BY  (PRIOR HC_HABCODE =  HC_HABCODE
 AND           PRIOR HA_CDLEVEL =  HA_FATHER
 AND           PRIOR HA_CDBANK  =  HA_CDBANK) ;

 TABLE
 ON       TABLE  HOLD  AS CRCC     FORMAT ALPHA
 END
-RUN


Hope this will help you,
Michel

The connect by retrieves the hierarchy dependent on a node. It retrieves the data as a relational table but sets the special column 'LEVEL' according to the depth of the Hierarchy. Using this you can build an appropriate indent to display the hierarchy.

This is probably better done in wf as FML hierarchies using PARENT_OF, CAPTION in the MASTER and then FOR ... WITH CHILDREN.

Try this - it's a feature that works very well
