Hi guys,
Iam kind of novice in focus code. Confused
Situation: -
HOLD <--
Field1 || Field2 || Field3
1 || A || john
1 || B || Mary
2 || C || Lisa
2 || D || Lori
2 || E || Sophy
3 || F || Kate

What I want is
SOME_HOLD1 <--
Field1 || Field2 || Field3
1 || A || john
2 || C || Lisa
3 || F || Kate
SOME_HOLD2 <--
Field1 || Field2 || Field3
1 || B || Mary
2 || D || Lori

I know one way of doing this with

End
I would appreciate some more efficient way attaching this problem
Thanks in Advance

Since noone else is biting, I'll ask if you can clarify this question a bit more. I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do.

Would I be correct in thinking that you want the first occurence in hold file 1, the second in hold file 2 .. etc.?

If so you can use basically what you have -
TABLE FILE CAR
LIST CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYDATA
END

TABLE FILE MYDATA
PRINT *
IF LIST EQ 1
END

TABLE FILE MYDATA
PRINT *
IF LIST EQ 2
END

Tony A -
U r Perfect.
Actually I have a hold file of Huge Size.
Like

TABLE FILE CAR
LIST CAR
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYDATA
END

List for CAR'S can go up to 40 and
Country's can go up to 20.

So Generating 40 Hold files dynamically and presenting all these 40 hold files in EXL2K wouldn't it be a Problem...?

I Wanted to know is there any better approach rather than this..?

Thanks in Advance
