Hi All
I am looking for the highest value of a field

need something like that

Order # Highest
109551 109551
109550 109551
109546 109551

The goal is to create a error message to tell user that the order number he entered is to high or that it was cancelled

The highest number will change every day so next run the max number could be 109558 or 559

I have tried sum (lst), Sum (max), cant get that result

Any help would be appreciated

I'm guessing that you plan to have a report that prompts the user for an order number and you want one of the following results;

1. If the order number entered is found in the data set and is not canceled, display the report.
2. If the order number entered is found in the data set but is canceled, an error message displays indicating that the order was canceled.
2. If the order number entered is not found in the data set, an error message displays that the data was not found.


How does the highest order number factor into this scenario?

Hi

The report send only 1 line ( Status of order ),
Valid order number with details of order or a line saying that the order number is invalid

Today, our last PO is 109698
If a user enter in the prompt box 109700, he will get a message that says invalid but because we haven't reach 109700, it is not yet valid or invalid, it just does not exist

Anyway, I am closing this request as we decided not to spend more time on that report.


Thank you all any way

How about this:

TABLE FILE [WHATEVER]
PRINT [A FIELD]
WHERE PO_NUMBER EQ 109700
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
-IF &RECORDS EQ 0 THEN GOTO NoPOfound ELSE GOTO POfound; 

-POfound
-*Run a good report...
-GOTO TheEndOfThis

-NoPOfound
-* Display an appropriate message...
-GOTO TheEndOfThis

-TheEndOfThis
