I have created a dynamic join via dialogue manager.
In this code snippet I am joining these fields:

quote:

AGEGRP IN AGEGRP_99_A TO MULTIPLE AGEGRP IN AGEGRP_00_A

(USING FULLY QUALIFIED NAMES)...

quote:

-SET &JNX = 'JOIN' | ' ' | &CMPL_FN | '.' | &CMPL_FN | '.' | &FNA || ' IN ' | &CMPL_FN ;
-SET &JNY = ' TO MULTIPLE ' | &CMPL_FN_2 | '.' | &CMPL_FN_2 | '.' | &FNA || ' IN ' | &CMPL_FN_2 | ' TAG J0 AS J0' ;

-SET &JNZ = &JNX||&JNY ;


Then, to test it I have tried this:

quote:

-TYPE &JNZ.EVAL
-RUN

CHECK FILE &CMPL_FN (PICT
-RUN

?FF &CMPL_FN
-RUN
-EXIT


I am disappointed to get thei result:

CHECK FILE AGEGRP_99_A (PICT
-RUN

0 NUMBER OF ERRORS= 0
NUMBER OF SEGMENTS= 1 ( REAL= 1 VIRTUAL= 0 )
NUMBER OF FIELDS= 14 INDEXES= 0 FILES= 1
TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL FIELDS= 154
?FF AGEGRP_99_A
-RUN

FILENAME= AGEGRP_99_A
AGEGRP AGEGRP A50
_TYPE_ _TYPE_ D20.2
JUL98 JUL98 D20.2
AUG98 AUG98 D20.2
SEP98 SEP98 D20.2
OCT98 OCT98 D20.2
NOV98 NOV98 D20.2
DEC98 DEC98 D20.2
JAN99 JAN99 D20.2
FEB99 FEB99 D20.2
MAR99 MAR99 D20.2
APR99 APR99 D20.2
MAY99 MAY99 D20.2
JUN99 JUN99 D20.2

-EXIT

I anticipated that I would also see the fields which are contained in the AGEGRP_00_A file, but I did not....

Has anyone else had this problem? Frowner

Thanks!

In stead of -TYPE &JNZ.EVAL do a &JNZ.EVAL (without the -type in front of it).
I do see you building the join command, but I have not seen in your code that you actually execute the join command.

Gamp,

Thank you. I did that and I do see fields from both of the files.

quote:

&JNZ.EVAL
-RUN

?FF &CMPL_FN

Now, I must determine how to print with only the sort fields from
the host file as my code below gives me the sort fields from both
files:

TABLE FILE &CMPL_FN
PRINT *
BY AGEGRP
BY _TYPE_ Roll Eyes
END
-RUN
[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE]
AGEGRP _TYPE_ AGEGRP _TYPE_ JUL98 AUG98
0-<1 1.00 0-<1 1.00 25,950.00 25,977.00
[QUOTE]

I can probably do something in a define. Roll Eyes

Thanks!

&CMPL_FN

Isn't that the name of your host file?
If so then you could do something similar as what you did for the join.
Something like this:
-SET &PART = 'BODY';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     &PART.EVAL.BODYTYPE
     &PART.EVAL.SEATS
     &PART.EVAL.DEALER_COST
     &PART.EVAL.RETAIL_COST
     &PART.EVAL.SALES
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END

Or
-SET &PART = 'BODY';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     &PART...BODYTYPE
     &PART...SEATS
     &PART...DEALER_COST
     &PART...RETAIL_COST
     &PART...SALES
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
END

You mean like this:

quote:

TABLE FILE &CMPL_FN
PRINT
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.JAN99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.FEB99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.MAR99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.APR99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.MAY99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.JUN99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.JUL99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.AUG99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.SEP99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.OCT99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.NOV99
&CMPL_FN.EVAL.DEC99

BY &CMPL_FN.EVAL.AGEGRP
BY &CMPL_FN.EVAL._TYPE_
END
-RUN
-EXIT


That is very cool if all my fields are from the same file.
If not then I will have to change the value of &CMPL_FN
to retrieve data from the 2nd (xref) file.

I apologize if I did not state what may be obvious...I am
trying to print a calendar year report as the table I am
forced to report from contains only a Fiscal Year of data.

Sorry!

Check the syntax of "CHECK FILE" ... no need for the left paren in 'CHECK FILE AGEGRP_99_A (PICT", is there?...

In my post yesterday, I used the CHECK FILE command incorrectly:

quote:

CHECK FILE AGEGRP_99_A (PICT
-RUN

(FOC1517) UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND CHEC
0 NUMBER OF ERRORS= 0
NUMBER OF SEGMENTS= 2 ( REAL= 1 VIRTUAL= 1 )
NUMBER OF FIELDS= 28 INDEXES= 0 FILES= 2
TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL FIELDS= 308
-EXIT



The correct syntax of the command is captioned below:

quote:

CHECK FILE AGEGRP_99_A PICT
-RUN
0 NUMBER OF ERRORS= 0
NUMBER OF SEGMENTS= 2 ( REAL= 1 VIRTUAL= 1 )
NUMBER OF FIELDS= 28 INDEXES= 0 FILES= 2
TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL FIELDS= 308

And that would then be in the &CMPL_FN_2 variable, wouldn't it?
