Hi ALL,

I want to know if we can use variables in the master file join condition and filter coding

e.g JOIN_WHERE table1_pkey EQ table2_fkey and criteria_field EQ --any user defined variable--

Please guide me for creation of user defined parameterised variables in master files and using them

Any suggestion would be a great help.

-Regards
-Kumud Vaish

I believe being able to use Variable in the master file description is a 7.7x feature.

Read The WebFocus Manual.

Note that

1. You can declare a default value. ("Syntax: How to Create a Master File Variable")

2. There are restrictions on where in the syntax of Master and Access files a declared variable may be referenced. ("Reference: Support for Variables in Master and Access File Attributes")

Thanks buddy...

I was going through the developer studio online help and found a note there mentioning that "Parameters are not supported with the master file filters".

So I assume that master file filters can work with a predefined static value.
