Hi, My objective is to limit number of records that user can retrieve from DB in report. Reason for doing this is to avoid user try to retrieve huge amount of record from DB without set any filter. I read about this following page: https://infocenter.information...ce%2FRECORDLIMIT.htm and by using WHERE READLIMIT EQ ndid the trick, but some user may not want to coding in their .fex. Therefore, is there a way to set limitation and force only certain amount of records can be retrieve? or better if to have this limitation setting apply for certain user as well? *User mention is the one on WebFOCUS user.This message has been edited.

I read up about DBA, but what I understand in DBA section can set limitation base on a field or column value to print the result, but what I looking for is more like set only MAX of 1,000 records can be retrieve without base on any column. Or is it there a way can be done in DBA section? if yes, then please provide some coding or where I should look into? WebFOCUS v8.2.06 , Windows | |||

this is the poor man's Resource Governor solution: DBA=STEVE, $ USER=TOM,ACCESS=R, $ USER=SWIFT,ACCESS=R,RESTRICT=VALUE,NAME=SYSTEM,VALUE=RECORDLIMIT EQ 10, $ SET USER=TOM will print everything; SET USER=SWIFT will only print the first ten records. -* NOTE!! - READLIMIT and RECORDLIMIT work differently depending on whether you are using RELATIONAL or FOCUS files.
