How do you get WebFocus to read multiple recordsets off of SQL stored procedures? Any examples I can look at? Thanks, Joe

Hi,

Can you detail what you are trying to do.
A stored procedure is returning a set of records.
What are you trying to do with these records?.

Regards.

Thanks for the reply. Within the stored procedure, the first recordset will produce an output for daily stats and the second recordset will produce the output for mtd stats. A friend of mine showed me how asp can do this - which I'm not familar with. What about Focus? I have not been able to find any info on how to do this. It looks as if I may have to create multiple stored proc instead of one.

Hi,

Try ti catch the first recordset and make a hold file. Then catch the second recordset and make another hold file and then you can report on both hold files. All this can be done within the same Fex file.
Can you post an example of the first recordset and an example of the second then the result that you would expect.

Regards.

in focus,
something like this:
SET ASNAMES = ON
TABLE FILE myfile
SUM DOLLARS AS MTDDOLARS
BY YEAR BY MONTH
SUM DOLLARS
BY YEAR BY MONTH BY DAY
ON TABLE HOLD
END
gives you a file like this
YEAR MONTH MTDDOLLARS DAY DOLLARS
where column 3 is the monthly aggregate
and column5 is the daily detail for that month.
The concept here is called 'MULTIPLE VERBS'
which is what the fex uses to create aggregate columns.
Is this the sort of thing you're looking for, Joe?
