Hi,
Should be something like this :
TABLE FILE PEOPLE_DIM PRINT * WHERE (CORP_ID EQ '&corp_id' AND END_DT IS MISSING) END
Make sure that the master and access-file for this table exist

.... or using SQL PASSTHRU -
ENGINE SQLMSS SET SERVER [connector name]
-* Where [connector name] is a valid connector in your configuration
-* Check WebFOCUS manuals or consult with your WF administrator
-*
-* Set the engine to the SQL datasource you are going to use
SET SQLENGINE = SQLMSS
-* Turn varchar recognition off - comment out if not required
SQL SQLMSS SET VARCHAR OFF
-RUN
SQL
SELECT *
FROM people_dim
WHERE MGR_CORP_ID in (SELECT MGR_CORP_ID
FROM people_dim
WHERE CORP_ID='&corp_id' AND end_dt is null)
;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS anyname
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE anyname
PRINT field ........
WHERE field EQ somevalue
END
I tend to use upper case for SQL syntax but you can use mixed case if you want. The column names MUST be as the datasource column name (as per SQL!).

Yup T.,
But would this pass-thru suffice?
SQL
SELECT *
FROM people_dim
WHERE CORP_ID='&corp_id' AND end_dt is null
;
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS anyname
END

TABLE FILE PEOPLE_DIM PRINT * WHERE (CORP_ID EQ '&corp_id' AND END_DT EQ '') END

Hey Mathan,
Para-phrasing Tom Flynn when I did something similar a while ago, I'm sure Animesh already found a solution to this more than 5 years ago
It's easy to get caught in the loop whenever one is looking for "stuff" here in the forum and ends up giving thought to really old posts which may not be relevant to author anymore ... been there, done that myself
