Hello, everybody:

When I run a report in Webfocus,I want to set the missing value is 0.
So I use the command 'SET NODATA = 0',but if the output format is 'excel' then the missing vlaue is null,not 0.
How can I to set the missing value with specified value when I export the report with excel?
Than you !

You could try Holding the data and setting MISSING off.

e.g.
ON TABLE HOLD ... MISSING OFF

Then the fields will not show any missing values.

I found this solution by searching this forum for the words "NODATA Excel":

SET EMPTYCELLS = OFF
SET NODATA = 0
.
TABLE FILE filename
.

This just saved me a bag of hurt!

EMPTYCELL is only documented in "Creating Reports With WebFOCUS Language > Choosing a Display Format > Using Excel Display Formats: Excel 2007, Excel 2000, Excel 97, Excel > Identifying Null Values in Excel 2000". It isn't in the "Developing Reporting Applications > Customizing Your Environment > SET Parameter Syntax" section, where you might look for it. Interestingly, EMPTYREPORT is not in the alphabetical summary at the top of this section, but it is in the alphabetical details.

Since I don't have any use for a fine-toothed comb on my head, I use it on WebFOCUS documentation.
