Hi,

I cannot find an obvious way to horizontally display a comma delimited list of values in the header of my webfocus report... Can someone please provide me some sample code.

Thanks!

Hi Susannah,

Thank you for your quick reply.
The values I wish to list horizontally are actually values of a field from a datasource. Can I somehow loop through them and build a comma delimited string to print out?

Thanks for your help.

Yes you can do that


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE SAVE AS TEST
END
-RUN

-SET &MYHEAD='';
-SET &COMMA='';
-CONTREAD
-READ TEST &CAR.A10
-IF &IORETURN NE 0 THEN GOTO ENDREAD;
-SET &MYHEAD=&MYHEAD | &COMMA | &CAR ;
-SET &COMMA=',';
-GOTO CONTREAD;
-ENDREAD

TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
" &MYHEAD "
PRINT CAR
END
-EXIT

Hope this helps,

Hi Kamesh,

Thank you for providing the sample code.
I have modified the provided code to work with my datasource. For some strange reason I'm getting the length of each individual String(field value) before the field value when I the print the final &MYHEAD variable in the header... Do you know what's going on? Thanks!

-Daniel.,

TABLE FILE METRICS_METRICS_EVENT
PRINT EVENT_TYPE_EN AS ATM
ON TABLE SAVE AS TEST
END
-RUN

-SET &MYHEAD='';
-SET &COMMA='';
-CONTREAD
-READ TEST &ATM.A64
-IF &IORETURN NE 0 THEN GOTO ENDREAD;
-SET &MYHEAD=&MYHEAD | &COMMA | &ATM ;
-SET &COMMA=',';
-GOTO CONTREAD;
-ENDREAD

TABLE FILE METRICS_METRICS_EVENT
HEADING
"bleh: &MYHEAD "
PRINT EVENT_TYPE_EN
END
-EXIT


The field EVENT_TYPE_EN is a varchar of length 64.

Thanks

-Daniel.,

I'm not sure why you are not getting the result. Try this first before changing it to your code.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT WARRANTY AS ATM
ON TABLE SAVE AS TEST
END
-RUN

-SET &MYHEAD='';
-SET &COMMA='';
-CONTREAD
-READ TEST &ATM.A40
-IF &IORETURN NE 0 THEN GOTO ENDREAD;
-SET &MYHEAD=&MYHEAD | &COMMA | &ATM ;
-SET &COMMA=',';
-GOTO CONTREAD;
-ENDREAD

TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"bleh: &MYHEAD "
PRINT WARRANTY
END
-EXIT

If this works fine, your code should work.

If not, send me the output you are getting.

Hope this time you will get it,

if you are getting the length of the field before the value then I bet that you are using VARCAHR from a relational source.

either mod the master to remove the V from the usage or redefine the column.

All should then be well.
