I only want to display the line with PURSHIP on the report, but need the other lines for calculations. Can someone please let me know how to do this?

What kind of calculations do you want to do? Can you do them in a define then set a display flag for the lines you want to show and test the flag in the table request?

The way the report is working is I calculate the days between the PURSHIP line and the SERLOTSWAP line. This gives me the 155 days. I need the SERLOTSWAP line to do this calculation, but I don't want to display it.

Is PURSHIP one field...are those all fields?
You can make a define that says IF FIELD EQ PURSHIP THEN FIELD ELSE ' ';
Then use the define field in the report.
Then make another define with calculations.

Tracie,

Do you only need PURSHIP and SERLOTSWAP? Are the pairs always present or could you have singles?
Also, when you want to show some code or some data enclose then between the tags that you get by clicking on < / >

Each set will always have at least one purship row and that is the one I want. Here is another example
410303 1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 06/14/2007 0 ARR-REPAIR
1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 06/14/2007 06/14/2007 0 INVM-IN
1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 06/14/2007 06/14/2007 0 SERLOTSWAP
1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 01/10/2007 06/14/2007 155 PURSHIP

The PURSHIP has the date from the LAST row (6/14/2007). The 01/10/2007 is from the actual PURSHIP row. When I create a field to only select the PURSHIP row I lose the 06/14/2007 record.

Tracie,
I'm sorry but your examples are not consistent. In the first there were no dates. In the second, each row has 2 dates except the first. At first you say you want to do calculations. Then you say that you need dates. Could you be somewhat more specific?

Do you need dates from both the PURSHIP and the SERLOTSWAP? Do you also want to calculate the difference between the values of the 2 records? Will there always be 2 records?

Sorry, I am new at this. In the example the purship row has everything I need. All calculations are correct. What I want to do is surpress all lines except the purship one. When I attempt to do that, since I am calculating with data from second line, I lose that line. The 155 on the purship line is the difference between the 6/14/2007 on the SERLOTSWAP row and the 1/10/2007 on the purship row. The display of 6/14/2007 on the purship row is the date from the SERLOPSWAP row. When I attempt to surpress the other rows, I also lose the 6/14/2007 date that is tied to those other rows.

Tracie,

Is what you are showing the output? If yes, can you show us the input records and then what you want in the output?

As I mentioned much earlier in this post, you can do your calculations on all of your rows in a DEFINE. Then in the DEFINE, set a flag to 1 if the line contains 'PURSHIP' and zero if it does not. Then test the flag in the TABLE part of your request and only print the rows where the flag is equal to 1. You can do this in a COMPUTE as well but you would need to test TOTAL FLAG.

Here is the source. The input looks like the report already posted.
PRINT
LINE_NO AS 'Line No.'
PART_NO AS 'Part No'
SERIAL_NO AS 'Serial No'
DATED/HMDYY AS 'Date Send Out'
newfield/HMDYY AS 'Date Returned'
COMPUTE Daysout/D12 = HDIFF(newfield, DATED, 'DAY', 'D12.2');
AS 'Days at the Vendor'
TRANSACTION_CODE
BY ORDER_NO AS 'PO No.'
Newfield is defined as LAST DATED
The desired output is one row pur PO with the data that exists on the PURSHIP line. Thanks for your patience.

I don't know which field contains 'PURSHIP' but you can make the adjustment. Add this to your code:

PRINT 
LINE_NO AS 'Line No.'
PART_NO AS 'Part No'
SERIAL_NO AS 'Serial No'
DATED/HMDYY AS 'Date Send Out'
newfield/HMDYY AS 'Date Returned'
COMPUTE Daysout/D12 = HDIFF(newfield, DATED, 'DAY', 'D12.2');
        PURSHIP_FLAG/I1=IF FLD??? EQ 'PURSHIP' THEN 1 ELSE 0;
AS 'Days at the Vendor'
TRANSACTION_CODE
BY ORDER_NO AS 'PO No.'
WHERE TOTAL PURSHIP_FLAG EQ 1;

I added it and the report returns 0 rows. This is what has been happening regardless of what I try.
PRINT
LINE_NO AS 'Line No.'
PART_NO AS 'Part No'
SERIAL_NO AS 'Serial No'
DATED/HMDYY AS 'Date Send Out'
newfield/HMDYY AS 'Date Returned'
COMPUTE Daysout/D12 = HDIFF(newfield, DATED, 'DAY', 'D12.2');
COMPUTE purship_flag/I1 = IF TRANSACTION_CODE EQ 'PURSHIP' THEN 1 EQ 0;
AS 'Days at the Vendor'
TRANSACTION_CODE
BY ORDER_NO AS 'PO No.'

WHERE TOTAL purship_flag EQ 1;

Tracie,
When you copy code (or output) to the forum, first press on the button < / > and insert the code between the [ code ] flags.

I see that you have 2 WHERE statements. Could it be that they disrupt the data you are retrieving? If you take out the WHERE TOTAL do you get 'PURSHIP'?

Yes, I do get the PURSHIP line if I remove the Where Total.

Tracie,

Try:

  
COMPUTE purship_flag/I1 = IF TRANSACTION_CODE CONTAINS 'PURSHIP' THEN 1 EQ 0;

 PRINT 
     COMPUTE purship_flag/I1 = IF TRANSACTION_CODE CONTAINS 'PURSHIP' THEN 1 EQ 0;

     PART_NO AS 'Part No'
     SERIAL_NO AS 'Serial No'

     newfield/HMDYY AS 'Date Returned'
     COMPUTE Daysout/D12 = HDIFF(newfield, DATED, 'DAY', 'D12.2');
 AS 'Days at the Vendor'
     TRANSACTION_CODE
BY ORDER_NO AS 'PO No.'

 0 1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 06/14/2007 01/10/2007 -155 INVM-ISS 
 

I dragged the purship_flag field on the report and they are all 0 (first column).

Tracie,
Weird... What is the FORMAT of TRANSACTION_CODE?

Transaction Code is A10V with a type of Real

Ah ha!
Change it to A10 or use:

  
COMPUTE TCODE/A10=TRANSACTION_CODE;
COMPUTE purship_flag/I1 = IF TCODE CONTAINS 'PURSHIP' THEN 1 EQ 0;

 410303 1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 06/14/2007   0 SERLOTSWAP 
 1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 01/10/2007 06/14/2007 155 PURSHIP 
 

 WHERE ( VENDOR_NO EQ '&VENDOR_NO.Vendor No.' ) AND ( PART_NO LIKE 'EX%' ) AND ( STATE EQ 'Closed' ) AND ( TRANSACTION_CODE EQ 'PURSHIP' OR 'SERLOTSWAP' ); 

This is interesting. When I look for two types of transaction codes I get both of them. I am wondering since I need both rows to determine the daysout that maybe I need both to display? Thanks again.

Since you are doing a PRINT, you can do your calculation in a DEFINE and test for the transaction code there. You will retrieve all the records but only do the calculation on the rows that you want by saying IF TRANSACTION_CODE EQ .... THEN HDIFF(...).

Then do the purship_flag in the compute.

 410303 1 EX75193 CL4APW0078 01/10/2007 06/14/2007 155.00 1  

 PRINT 
     LINE_NO AS 'Line No.'
     PART_NO AS 'Part No'
     SERIAL_NO AS 'Serial No'
     DATED/HMDYY AS 'Date Send Out'
     newfield/HMDYY AS 'Date Returned'

     COMPUTE purship_flag/I1 = IF TRANSACTION_CODE CONTAINS 'PURSHIP' THEN 1 ELSE 0;

GOT IT. This is the source I ended up with. Thanks to all for all the help and patience.
