I have copied a focexec into Desktop Developer version 5.3.3 (hub to sub environment that calls a MSSQL stored procedure). I can open it up in procedure viewer to view all the components but I'm unable to open it up to do any formatting. This is the error I get "Error parsing Master File GENEV (FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 156 (HEX:0000009C) XOPEN:42000 (FOC1414 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ERROR.(FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR THE FILE NAMED: HOLD1 (FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 1400 (HEX: 00000578) L (FOC1405) SQL PREPARE ERROR"

I think I might need some syntax to stick in at the beginning that will allow me to call sql. Or maybe I need to make a sql connecttion within my Desktop Developer software.......Does anyone have any suggestions

Hi, Heather.

You registered on my birthday. Smiler

I hate that 'error parsing master' message. Do you have the master in your local ibi/apps directory? If yes, your idea about creating a local connection is a good one. Give it a try.

No I don't have the master loaded/created. We are running native sql.

Then it sounds like you need to set up a local connection. You are running localhost, right?

OK. Set up the ODBC connection with the ODBC Data Sources tool.

Then bring up the web console for the reporting server, should be localhost:8121, go to Adapters and set up the WebFOCUS connection.

Once you have done that, go back to your SQL (and it sounds like you might already have this so I apologize if this is a repeat), and make sure that you hold the output of the SQL query.

SQL SQLMSS
SELECT .....
FROM .....
WHERE .....;
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT ALPHA
END

You should then hopefully be able to open up the painter against the hold file.

In 7.x, the SQL Wizard eliminates having to do the hold.

I hope this helps.
