Hi, Has anyone used decode statements in their metadata and then tried doing a join on that table and a report after that? Ever since we added a decode statement to one of our tables (call it TABLEA) when we try to do a report after joining it with another table (TABLEB to MULTIPLE TABLEA) we get this strange message, when then trying to create a report on it: ---------------------------- "Error parsing MASTER file TABLEB((FOC061)) "WITH FIELDNAME' IN DEFINE LIES ON DIFFERENT PATH: S (FOC101) ERROR IN DEFINE IN MASTER FILE: TABLEB (FOC282) RESULT OF EXPRESSION IS NOT RECOGONIZED: FILE_NAME (FOC009) INCOMPLETE REQUEST STATEMENT (61)). ------------------- A report can be done on either table, TABLEA or TABLEB if they are not joined to another table first. Also, if the join is done in the opposite direction TABLE TO TABLEB, that report works. Thanks, ColleenThis message has been edited.

Your question to post the master files promtped me to look more closely at them. I found that the statement in the master file with the decode statement was using a "WITH FIELDA" statement where FIELDA is the name of a field in both TABLEA and TABLEB. I edited the WITH FIELDA statement and changed it to WITH FIELDC (a field only in that table), and that fixed the problem! Thanks! WebFocus 8104, IBMi (server), Windows 7 (client), iWay 6.1 | |||
