What is the correct syntax for using NOT IN? I can get the code below to work using IN, but if I want all of the records that are NOT IN, I get this error:

0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 3 IN PROCEDURE ADHOCRQ FOCEXEC *
(FOC774) THE WORD 'IN' MUST APPEAR IN A VALID CLAUSE


 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE COUNTRY IN ('JAPAN', 'ITALY');
END


Thanks,
Bethany

Here's one way:

 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE COUNTRY NE 'JAPAN' OR 'ITALY'
END

Not very intuitive, is it?

The brackets around the NOT are not required but I usually put them there for clarity, in case there's another clause in the WHERE statement.

Aha, I was just about to put that one too!

The NOT part needs to be put before the field being compared.

Hi Bethany,

I do not understand how this tool is beahaving differently from one installation to the other.
And here we are using the master file car.
I just copy the code you have posted and that was not working on your installation and without any changes it is Running.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE COUNTRY IN ('JAPAN', 'ITALY');
END
Regards.

Majid,

Bethany wanted to know what the syntax was for using NOT. She didn't have it in her example because what she tried wasn't working for her. She already knew that her posted code worked but it wasn't what she wanted.
