I have the following code which i am attempting to leverage in document composer. However it only displays the first OVER and does not display the second or third components. Looking for ideas . I am committed to document composer however this particular piece I am willing to do whatever it takes to display this CLOB field. this is just what I was able to come up with the SQL person i was working with suggested. Separately this code works just dandy. Inside document composer not so nice.

Thanks

Hi Geoff

I was unable to reproduce the problem on my system with this code. See if this works for you.

Chuck thanks for the response, I believe the issue is present due to the fact that data is cut and pasted into the form window When entered. the car file doesn't have the ASCII issues of the data base that I am working with nor the field size its TX50 but the data base field is well north of 30K alpha.

I tried both HTML and PDF the report works well by itself but when I incorporate into the document composer it loses the 2nd and 3rd fields

a dirty fix:

This gave the same result


However I have new code I am working with that looks promising SEE BELOW

ENGINE SQLORA SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION BANPRD
SQL SQLORA PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
SELECT "ATVUSRC"."ATVUSRC_DESC",
"AMRPUSR"."AMRPUSR_EFFECT_DATE",

WHERE ( "AMRPUSR"."AMRPUSR_USRC_CODE" = "ATVUSRC"."ATVUSRC_CODE" ) and

END
SET NODATA = ''
SET PRINTPLUS = ON
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
COMPUTE DEFDATE/MDYY = AMRPUSR_EFFECT_DATE; NOPRINT
ATVUSRC_DESC NOPRINT
AMRPUSR_VALUE AS ' '
BY HIGHEST AMRPUSR_EFFECT_DATE NOPRINT

ON AMRPUSR_EFFECT_DATE SUBHEAD
"ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/PRDODSP/_EDAHOME/ETC/endeflt.sty,
$
TYPE=DATA,

$
TYPE=TITLE,

$
ENDSTYLE
END

My problem now is that it wraps too quickly and only uses about third of the page width space. I was under the impression that I would have to break this into 3 or more subfields however with SQL passthrough it seems i am getting all the data even that in excess of 4096. The field format in the report painter says its a TX50. If i can find a way to control the wrap I may be able to leverage this

Could it not be an option to change the field format for a regular alpha field (/A) ?

WF will try to split text string according to the TX format specified length (in your case 50) without splitting a word and according to available space (and other rules).
So each row should not exceed 50 characters but each lines may vary in length.

its a CLOB field in oracle could be as many as 30K, the default coming out of SQL passthrough is TX50, can i write a compute to change that or must i use a hold file? Cause what I think your saying is change it to TX??

In the end OVER would not give me the result I needed when brought into document composer. No I m not sure why. The OVER worked fine as a stand alone report when added to a compound document i would only get the first print field and the others disappeared. ???


This is a workaround that will do for now.
