How would I do a similar statement to a where statement in SQL, but in a define

EX.

select catalogcode
from table
where itemcode = itemcode2
or
Where itemcode = 57

or

"insert where statement"

just looking for a generic 'where'statement done in webfocus. the more examples the better!

Thanks for your help!

Chearles, please be more specific.

What do you mean by "insert where statement"?

Why in a DEFINE?

TABLE FILE TABLE1
PRINT catalogcode
WHERE ITEMCODE EQ ITEMCODE2;
WHERE ITEMCODE EQ 57;
WHERE ITEMCODE IN (12, 45, 57, 88);
WHERE ITEMCODE FROM 10 TO 100;
WHERE ITEMCODE GE 9 AND ITEMCODE LT 87;
WHERE ITEMCODE LT 40 OR ITEMCODE GT 76;
WHERE ITEMCODE NE 43;
...
END

What I am trying to do make a report that will compare generic brand foods to the national brand

Ex. grocery store brand vs. major company

The report comprised of all of the grocery store brand items. So it goes through and shows all of the itemcodes for each grocery store item. For each item they may or may not have a national brand. If they don't nationbrandITEMcode will say '00000' if they do it will have an ITEMCODE '12345'

if it does have a nationbrand associated with the grocery store item I would like it then to create a new row right after it showing all of the information about the national brand,

I tried doing this by making a subfooting for ITEMCODE and adding defines for each feild but then it is very difficult to line them up with the columns...

Its in PDF format


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so Much!

Maybe there is a way to set a subfooting value to a certian position on the report?

In pdf you can line up fields by column name if you want to pursue subfoot option. Code like this in your stylesheet:
  
TYPE=TABFOOTING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, POSITION=COLUMNNAME1, JUSTIFY=RIGHT,$
TYPE=TABFOOTING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=2, POSITION=SOMECOLUMN, JUSTIFY=RIGHT,$
TYPE=TABFOOTING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=3, POSITION=OTHERCOLUMN, JUSTIFY=RIGHT,$

(My example is for a table footing, it should work for a subfooting too.)

You could also write your report by creating an extra record view for each input record (with DEFINES on the national brand if it were there, making it look like a regular item) and unioning the result together (appending flat file approach), then sorting your output so it came at the end of each grocery store group. That would take more coding on your part.
