Employee Manager developer tester
x 0 0 1
y 1 0 0
z 0 1 0

In above, scenario I have to calculate Number of manager, number of developer and number of tester.

Neelima,

You can definitely create a compute field in the Master file. just include the compute logic in the segment for the compute. I don't understand what you mean by "Using Filters". Maybe you want to try using the synonym editor to create some basic samples for yourself.

Empid manager_flag Developer_flag tester_flag project
a N N Y PROJECT A
B Y N N PROJECT A
C N N Y PROJECT B
D Y N N PROJECT A
E N Y N PROJECT B
F Y N N PROJECT A

like above, I need to calculate how many employees are manager, developer and tester for particular project.for that, I need to create compute field in MASTERFILE for that,I have tried with
DEFINE TOT/D12=TOT.empid; TITLE='Manager Count',RESTRICT = VALUE_WHERE,VALUE = Manager_flag EQ 'Y'; $

ABOVE code is not giving the correct result.

Please suggest.

Neelima,

the code: RESTRICT = VALUE_WHERE,VALUE = Manager_flag EQ 'Y'; $

is something that you would add as part of the DBA restrictions. From what you are describing, thats not what you are doing. I think you are over thinking this. Just write a simple define.

DEFINE MNGR_FLAG/I8=IF MANAGER_FLAG EQ 'Y' THEN 1 ELSE 0;


Then just agreggate it at what ever level you need it in your query. You could use multi segment master files to do this... but chances are that you don't need that. I would just keep this simple for now.

TABLE FILE MYTABLE
SUM EMP_FLAG
BY PROJECT
END

Thanks Eric,

I have already done this code in my master file but it is not giving me the correct result.

I have to count distinct number of employee by project.
