[SOLVED] Error at printing a field

Hi guys I got an amper variable, which represents a date that comes in this format 'DD.MM.YYYY'.
I converted that to 'DDMMYYY' using this DEFINE:
DEFINE FILE HOLDFILE
ST_DATE/A10 = '&FECHA';
FD_DATE/A8DMYY = EDIT(ST_DATE,'99$99$9999');
END

I think that this is correct, but when I perform the PRINT statement to see what I'm getting:
  
TABLE FILE HOLDFILE
PRINT FD_DATE
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
END

I obtain this error:
(FOC493) NO ACCESSIBLE FIELDS ARE MENTIONED IN THE REQUEST


I searched but couldn't find anything related to that.

Thank you so much.

WebFOCUS insists on associating DEFINE fields with a real segment.field, even when the table is single segment. Your DEFINEs do not mention a real field, thus the error message. Use the following syntax to solve the problem:

DEFINE FILE HOLDFILE
 ST_DATE/A10 WITH <HOLDFILE fieldname> = '&FECHA';
 FD_DATE/A8DMYY = EDIT(ST_DATE,'99$99$9999');
END

Ok Dan I understand but that which goes after WITH what kind of type can be? it has to be the same type of ST_DATE? What could I do if my hold file didn't have a field of the type of ST_DATE?

Thank you for your help

Any field will do, no matter is data type or length. All WebFOCUS needs is something "physical" in the segment to link your newly DEFINE'd field.

To follow your other post regarding dates, we would stress the point to stick to DATES (YYMD) and not LEGACY ones (A8YYMD) as most date-based functions in WebFOCUS expect a field to be YYMD to operate upon.

-SET &NEW_DATE = EDIT(&FECHA, '99$99$9999');

DEFINE FILE HOLDFILE
FD_DATE/YYMD WITH ANY_FIELD_YOU_HAVE = DATECVT('&NEW_DATE', 'A8YYMD', 'YYMD');
END

TABLE FILE HOLDFILE
PRINT FD_DATE
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
END



Hope this helps.

You have to think of the solution to this error as giving an orphan a family by assinging a mother.

Impossible to forget the solution with that metaphor!
