[SOLVED]Better way to eliminate record
Hi,

I'm able to eliminate the record of 'ENGLAND' & 'JAGUAR' using concatenation.

DEFINE FILE CAR
TESTCND/A30V=COUNTRY||'-'||CAR;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR
WHERE TESTCND NE 'ENGLAND-JAGUAR'
END


There must be someother easy way to achieve this. Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Rifaz

How about this:

WHERE NOT (COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' AND CAR EQ 'JAGUAR');

Francis and Fernando:

Better make that

WHERE NOT (COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' OR CAR EQ 'JAGUAR')

Jack, not too sure of that - the OR may eliminate more than one wishes:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COUNTRY
BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
BY BODYTYPE NOPRINT
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COUNTRY
BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
BY BODYTYPE NOPRINT

WHERE NOT (COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' AND BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN');
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
COUNTRY
BODYTYPE
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
BY BODYTYPE NOPRINT

WHERE NOT (COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' OR BODYTYPE EQ 'SEDAN');
END

Hey, not the throw water on the creative fire here, but this is very basic stuff, and can be found in the manuals.

Pity the lost knowledge of an old programmer!
