This is the code I am grappling with. We are trying to stay away from doing the code and use the graphical tools. We are using Webfocus 7.1.1

JOIN CLEAR *
JOIN
LCCAPP1.LCCAPP1.POCODE IN LCCAPP1 TO MULTIPLE LCCAPCO.LCCAPCO.COCODE IN LCCAPCO
AS POCO
END

JOIN
NAKEY WITH LCCAPP1.LCCAPCO.RCLIENTNUMB1 IN LCCAPP1 TO MULTIPLE LCCAPNA.LCCAPNA.NACODE
IN LCCAPNA AS PONA
END

This is the way it is produced when I use the join tool. When I go to make a define object I get an error message:
"Error Parsing Master File lccapp1 (FOC370)The field name used in join cannot be found in file (370)".
When I type the code in like this:

JOIN CLEAR *
JOIN POCODE IN LCCAPP1 TO MULTIPLE COCODE IN LCCAPCO AS POCO
JOIN NAKEY WITH RCLIENTNUMB1 IN LCCAPP1 TO MULTIPLE NACODE

It works and lets me make the next object

Is this just a limitation or glitch of web focus? Or is there a another way to make this work using the Graphical Tools?

Dan,

Hate to ask the obvious, but you are clicking Run in the GUI tool for the Join element before you are trying to define a field aren't you?

We've been down the "It should be done so that someone can maintain it in the graphical route" and it did not work.

We now follow a half and half approach where we use the GUI where its most effective (eg getting first cut). From looking elsewhere on the forum (see sticky), most people take this approach.

Also would suggest an upgrade because we used 7.1.1 and it was quite finnicky.
