I have created a HOLD file in code
TABLE FILE COMPHLD2
BY PLAN_COMPONENT
END
THE RESULT WOULD BE :
PLAN_COMPONENT
---------------
NSR
RETENTION RATE

If there is an entry with "RETENTION RATE" I need a NEW record with the name "HOURS"
So expected :
PLAN_COMPONENT
---------------
NSR
RETENTION RATE
HOURS

Any suggession , how to accomplish this?

Sanjeev,

Have you tried the MORE statement?

Example:

IF Country Contains "England" then Compute Country to equal "HOURS". Second request MOREs the two together.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COMPUTE COUNTRY/A10 = 'HOURS';
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE HOLD AS RETRATE
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE CAR
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
MORE
FILE RETRATE
END
-RUN

Sanjeev, I am at a great advantage here because I know your application, and the data. And while the previous post using "more" is valid and will work, it requires 3 passes at the data. What you want to do is create a row of data that does not exist. THIS SCREAMS MACGYVER. I also know you have existing MacGyver files of 10, 100, 250, etc at your disposal. I am assuming you know how to allocate them.
Then:
JOIN BLANC WITH PLAN_COMPONENT IN COMPHLD2 TO BLANK IN MCG10 AS J1
DEFINE FILE COMPHLD2
BLANC/A1 WITH PLAN_COMPONENT=' ';
PCOMPONENT/A32=IF COUNTER EQ 1 THEN PLAN_COMPONENT
ELSE IF (COUNTER EQ 2) AND (PLAN_COMPONENT EQ 'RETENTION RATE') THEN 'HOURS'
ELSE ' ';
END
TABLE FILE COMPHLD2
BY PCOMPONENT AS PLAN_COMPONENT
IF COUNTER LE 2
IF PCOMPONENT NE ' '
END
