How do I write dynamic where conditions?
For example:
A report parameter could be (1,2) or (1,2,3) depending on which I need to pick records up.

TABLE FILE TEST
PRINT *
WHERE EMP_ID IN <PARAMETER CONDITION>
END

Please help!!!!

Just add few conditions.
Example Code:
Set the where conditions first:
-SET &WHERE1='';
-SET &WHERE2='';

-IF &HID_REGION EQ 0 THEN GOTO ALLREG;
-SET &WHERE1='AND REG_REGIONID IN ('||&HID_REGION1 ||')';
-ALLREG
-IF &HID_LOCATION EQ 0 THEN GOTO ALLLOC;
-SET &WHERE2='AND LOC_LOCATIONID IN ('||&HID_LOCATION1 ||')';
-ALLLOC

Now apply this in your query:

TABLE FILE TEST
PRINT *
WHERE 1=1
&WHERE1
&WHERE2
END

Regards,
Cyril

Hi mohith,

Has this issue regarding dynamic WHERE conditions been resolved?

Are you selecting parameters from a list-box or from a text field? I ran a search on Information Builders' online documentations and came across the following topic which may be of interest.

How to dynamically pass all field values to a WHERE clause?

Dynamic WHERE with OR's do not get translated by FOCUS http://techsupport.informationbuilders.com/sps/73121062.html

You will need to have a userid/password to access these documents.

Hope this helps. Big Grin

Cheers,
