Trusha,

I'm not surprised as your file type is specified as a SQL Server table but you are trying to point it at a flat file.

Change the suffix to FIX and you might have some chance.

Trusha,

Now that you have changed your .mas can you run the following fex against it?
TABLE FILE ACC
SUM FST.ETLACCOUNT
BY ETLACCOUNT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
-RUN

If you can then you have just mimicked exactly what the JS does to obtain the data for the combo and we need to look further such as adding IBIAPP_app and IBIC_server attributes to your SELECT tag set. If you can't then there is probably still something wrong with your .mas so please post your latest version - note there was also an extraneous TEXT in the DATASET code.
