Hi,
I want to generate where Clause dynamically in the TABLE FILE command by extarcting date from a variable containing multiple values of date.
For Ex : '30/06/2012' OR '30/09/2012' OR '31/03/2013'
I want to interate for each date in a loop by extacting through GETTOK or any other relevant function.
Can you please help me to achieve this?

Thanks.

Mayank,

This might help:

You could first run a simple query: ( just get the dates based on the whole variable )

TABLE FILE <your file>
BY <your date field>
WHERE <your date field> EQ &VARIABLE
...
END


Then loop through these results line by line and do you're iteration here.

Much easier then trying to parse the variable.

Added bonus: any dates that are not valid will to cause problems.


G'luck,
Dave

Thanks for you reply.
But When I am using the GETTOK function I am getting the date in alphanumeric format. But I am not able to use that in DATEMOV function to get the beginning of Quarter date.
Its saying that Invalid argument.
Please suggest.

There are many ways to convert a alpha string date to a smartdate.
Use the search on this forum or buy the famous book I have mentioned 1001 times before.

Sounds like you have or are going to create extra hold files and merge them.

Can you give an example of the data and hold files.
