[SOLVED] Problems using MERGE

I'm trying to create a merged data set as follows:

Concatenate table A with table B
Concatenate table C with table D
then join concatenated A/B to concatenated C/D

I used the code documented in wf77crlang.pdf, page 857 and I have mocked up
similar code using the car file (below).

However, the result set contains 0 rows using my own data and when using the sample CAR
file.

(0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 0 LINES= 0)

-SET &ECHO = ALL;
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE HOLD AS A
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY'
ON TABLE HOLD AS B
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE HOLD AS C
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY'
ON TABLE HOLD AS D
END
-RUN
MATCH FILE A
SUM DEALER_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
MORE
FILE B
RUN
FILE C
SUM RETAIL_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
AFTER MATCH HOLD OLD-OR-NEW
MORE
FILE D
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT *
END

What's your release? -- On 7.6.9, when I run the code in your post I get 8 lines, no errors.

At the top add:
-SET &ECHO=ALL;

Run the, program, right-click and view source. See if WF is generating an error...

Mr. Gross, don't mean to steal your thunder, works for me, also...

The following text appears immediately after the MATCH request END statement:

BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT *
END
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 0 LINES= 0

Thanks to all,

I have opened a ticket since this appears to be version related and they have forwarded to programming.

Tim-

My guess is that the use of MORE within MATCH is broken in your release.

Try this:

-SET &ECHO = ON;
TABLE FILE CAR  SUM DEALER_COST BY CAR BY MODEL WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' ON TABLE HOLD AS A
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR  SUM DEALER_COST BY CAR BY MODEL WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY' ON TABLE HOLD   AS B
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR  SUM RETAIL_COST BY CAR BY MODEL WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' ON TABLE HOLD AS C
END
-RUN
TABLE FILE CAR  SUM RETAIL_COST BY CAR BY MODEL WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY' ON TABLE HOLD   AS D
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE A
  SUM DEALER_COST BY CAR BY MODEL     ON TABLE HOLD AS AB
  MORE
  FILE B
END
TABLE FILE C
  SUM RETAIL_COST BY CAR BY MODEL     ON TABLE HOLD AS CD
  MORE
  FILE D
END
-RUN
MATCH FILE AB
  SUM DEALER_COST BY CAR BY MODEL
  RUN
FILE CD
  SUM RETAIL_COST BY CAR BY MODEL
  AFTER MATCH HOLD OLD-OR-NEW
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE HOLD
  PRINT *
END
