Hi,

I have a flat file which has data defined with occurs 20 times.
Here is an example of how my data looks on file. (Each line represents a single record,I have given 2 records here).

A1,M1Name,M1Age,M2Name,M2Age,M3Name,M3Age......M20Name,M20Age.
A2,M1Name,M1Age,M2Name,M2Age,M3Name,M3Age......M20Name,M20Age.

I have to sum each and every member whose age is more than 30years in every house.


MY REPORT OUTPUT SHOULD BE LIKE BELOW

HEAD count
A1 6
A2 3
A3 0
A4 1
total: 10
Thanks.
Jagan

Create a multi-segment master using the OCCURS feature.

You learn about it by reading the manual.

Then a simple define accumulating only if over 30 will do all that you want.

P.S. get the company to pay for some basic training.

Hi JG,

If you have any sample code please let me know.

MFD has been already defined for this.

I am learning and completing the programs, because my company is not going to pay for training.

Jagan,

Please at least search the forum before asking a question

This was posted only 4 days ago

"FILENAME=mymaster, SUFFIX=FIX , $
SEGMENT=SEG1, SEGTYPE=S0, $
FIELDNAME=key, USAGE=A20, ACTUAL=A20, $
SEGMENT=SEG2, SEGTYPE=S0, PARENT=SEG1, OCCURS=10, $
FIELDNAME=FILLER, USAGE=A1, ACTUAL=A1, $
FIELDNAME=PLOTVAL, USAGE=I6, ACTUAL=A6, $"

In your case it will become something like

FILENAME=mymaster, SUFFIX=FIX , $
SEGMENT=SEG1, SEGTYPE=S0, $
FIELDNAME=key, USAGE=A2, ACTUAL=A2, $
SEGMENT=SEG2, SEGTYPE=S0, PARENT=SEG1, OCCURS=20, $
FIELDNAME=NAME, USAGE=A20, ACTUAL=A20, $
FIELDNAME=AGE, USAGE=I6, ACTUAL=A6, $

Adjust the actuals and usage to match your data.

You then have a define

DEFINE FILE mymaster
TOTAL_AGE/I9=IF AGE GE 30 THEN AGE ELSE 0;
END
TABLE FILE mymaster
SUM TOTAL_AGE
BY KEY
END

You might want to add:
FIELDNAME=F_MEMBER, ALIAS=ORDER, USAGE=I4, ACTUAL = I4,$


This is the same as a defined field, it doesn't really exist in your data. It allows you to select a specific occurance. The ALIAS always has to be ORDER regardless of how many occurs clauses you have in the MFD. You can specify a single occurance:

WHERE F_MEMBER EQ 2

or a range
WHERE F_MEMBER GT 5 AND F_MEMBER LT 10

OR
WHERE F_MEMBER LE 20
