Hi All,

We are planning to upgrade the WebFOCUS 7.6.11 to 7.7.03. FILEF command is not working in 7.7.03.

The below code is working fine in 7.6.11 but not in 7.7.03
sample code is 
  
TABLE FILEF CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL SEATS
BY COUNTRY
END


Please let me know is it supports or not?

Thanks in advance......!

Kotesh,

can't find a reference to FILEF.
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL SEATS
BY COUNTRY
END
works.
This difference may be a result of code-tightening which often occurs with new releases.

I can confirm that in 7.6.1 that worked but in 7.7.03 it does not. I have both verions. But what is FILEF? I see no documentaion for it's use? I would agree with jimster, it's code tightening.

TABLEF FILE CAR

Thers's no such thing as FILEF, It's TABLEF, which means, bring the data in exactly as SORTed the step before, or, on initial extract as stored in the table.

Code tightening...

FYI, If you use TABLEF with a BY statement, it becomes TABLE. TABLEF is used "without" a BY statement, per the manual...

Thanks for your information....!

I have another question. The table is having master file and access file CREATED BY ME, when i retrieving the data getting an error in 7.7.03 but not in 7.6.11. tablename & segmentname are same.

TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
SUM
'DST.EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE.DEPARTMENT' AS 'DST,EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE.DEPARTMENT'
BY 'EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE.DEPARTMENT'
END

IS IT SUPPORTS TO TABLENAME.SEGNAME.FIELD?

SEGNAME is EMPINFO. This should work:
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
SUM 
'DST.EMPLOYEE.EMPINFO.DEPARTMENT' AS 'DST,EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE.DEPARTMENT'
BY 'EMPLOYEE.EMPINFO.DEPARTMENT'
END

This is incorrect. The manual states:

"Any BY phrases must be compatible with the logical sequence of the data source. BY
phrases are used only to establish control breaks, not to change the order of the records."

As far as I know it has worked this forever and I started using FOCUS in 1985.

There is a SET setting, SQLTOPTTF (options are ON and OFF and ON is the default) that will cause TABLE to become TABLEF when possible when accessing SQL data sources. But TABLEF never become TABLE.


In FOCUS since 1985. Prod WF 8.0.08 (z90/Suse Linux) DB (Oracle 11g), Self Serv, Report Caster, WebServer Intel/Linux.

Really?

For those long term hand coders out there (using char based FOCUS), this should bring back a few (haunting) memories?

SET PAGE = NOLEAD
TABLE FILE CAR
BY HIGHEST COUNTRY
END

TABLEF FILE CAR
BY HIGHEST COUNTRY
END

LET TABLEF = TABLE

TABLEF FILE CAR
BY HIGHEST COUNTRY
END

FOUL! You have a LET statement in there to change the meaning.

Hi Pat,

Yes indeed, but who remembers the countless LET statements that were being used?

LET TFC = TABLE FILE CAR SUM RCOST DCOST BY COUNTRY BY CAR BY MODEL

TFC
END


BTW, I wouldn't suggest anyone who is not au-fait with using LET actually use it to any degree! It could cause you more grief than joy!!! You have been warned!

Hi Tony,

I think you are getting to the point where you are going to confuse all the newbies. BTW, I've retired.
