Directions for common list-server commands (including unsubscribing) are given, as are guidelines for list usage. ______________________________________________________________________ Table of Contents 1.

Changes Since Previous Version Changes since the version dated 1999/04/30: o Reflected the takeover of SQRIBE Technologies by Brio Technology and the resulting new product names (throughout document). o Added additional hints to the "Posting to the sqr-users List" section. 2. Introduction 2.1. sqr-users Mailing List The sqr-users mailing list was created to enable discussion related to the SQR database language from Brio Technology (and to other products in the Brio.Report line). Note: SQR used to be published by SQRIBE Technologies, which was merged into Brio Technology on August 3, 1999. The Brio website has more information on the merger. The mailing list is provided as a service of Ray Ontko & Co. . A searchable archive of past postings to the mailing list is available from the SQR Users Group web site . 2.2. sqr-users Hints and Guidelines Document This document gives various hints and guidelines about the sqr-users mailing list. It will be posted approximately monthly to the mailing list so that new users can see it (and existing users can find it easily). An HTML version of the document is always available at http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/sqr-users-hints.html. If you have comments or suggestions about this document, please contact me directly at the address listed in the title section. This document is (C)Copyright 1999 by Ray Ontko & Co. It may be freely copied and distributed provided it is not modified in any way and it retains the original copyright notice. 2.3. Related Mailing Lists psusers : PeopleSoft Users For questions related to any aspect of PeopleSoft (including PeopleSoft-specific SQR issues). To join, follow the link above, or send any message to "psusers-subscribe@egroups.com" . rm-users : ReportMart Users List for discussion of Brio.Portal (previously called ReportMart). To join, follow the link above, or send a message containing the word "subscribe" in the body to "rm-users- request@sqrug.com". 3. Basic List Server Commands Note: The list used to be hosted on usa.net , but the list-hosting service was moved to list.iex.net . The old addresses for the list, list server, and list owner no longer work. A few basic list server commands are listed below. Send these commands as the only line in the body (not the subject line) of an e- mail message sent to "listserv@list.iex.net". 3.1. Subscribing to the List To subscribe to the mailing list, the command is subscribe sqr-users Your Name Note that you do not need to provide your e-mail address as it is taken from your message's header. You will be e-mailed a confirmation number, which you must then send back to the list server software before the command goes into effect. 3.2. Unsubscribing from the List To unsubscribe, the command is simply unsubscribe sqr-users Once again, you will need to confirm your command before it goes into effect. 3.3. Digests Once you are subscribed, you can request to get your messages in digest form (one large message containing all of the posts made each day) by sending the command set sqr-users digests If you use digests you should not just "reply" to the digest mailing. Instead, be sure your message's subject header matches the subject in the original posting to which you are replying, and that you don't include a quoted copy of the entire digest in your post. Use "nodigests" instead of "digests" to restore normal distribution. 3.4. Problems If the above commands do not work, please contact the list manager at "sqr-users-request@list.iex.net". (Do not send a message to the list itself -- no one there can help you with your problem!) Please include a copy of the error message you received from the list server. 4. Posting to the sqr-users List In order to post to the mailing list, you must be subscribed to it (see directions above). 4.1. General Guidelines For any message you send to the list, please: o make sure your mail software is not requesting a "Return Receipt". (If a "Return Receipt Requested" message is sent to the list, several dozen receipt messages will be sent out to the mailing list in reply from other subscribers.) o do not send messages in HTML or other special formats. (These are not usable by many subscribers, especially those who receive their messages in digest format.) o keep in mind that over 500 people will receive your message, and that it will appear in the list archives. Try to keep your messages on-topic and relatively short. Consider sending your message directly to particular people if it won't interest many of the list's subscribers. 4.2. Posting a Message Once you are subscribed, you can post to the list by sending a message to "sqr-users@list.iex.net". Be sure your subject heading describes your specific problem or question (i.e. don't just use "SQR Question"). In the body of your message, please include the following information: o Brio product and version number o Operating system and version number o Database name and version number o Application name (i.e. PeopleSoft) and a version number, if any Also, include a short code sample whenever possible. It's much easier for other people to understand what you are trying to do when they can see the actual code. (At the same time, be careful not to post confidential or proprietary code, since the posting will be placed in a public web archive.) Note that your question should relate to SQR or other Brio Report product in some way. Don't ask questions about PeopleSoft, for example, unless you are having SQR-related issues. To find out your version of SQR, you can run the following program: begin-program show $sqr-ver end-program This will produce a line that looks something like this: SQR/3.0.15/Intel/SCO Unix R3.2 V5.0/Oracle 7.2.2.3/Sep 25 1996 Include the full line of output in your message. Note that the oper- ating system version number listed here is the one under which this copy of SQR was compiled, so you'll still need to include your own information. 4.3. Replying to a Message Messages sent out on the list have a Reply-To header pointing to the list. This means that you should be able to simply use your mail reader's "reply" function to send a reply to the list. Generally, all answers to questions sent out on the list should be public replies, so that other subscribers can benefit. In those cases where a private reply is appropriate, be sure to over-ride the default Reply-To address. If your message is not actually a reply to the earlier message, please do not use the "reply" function. Instead, address a new e-mail message to the list as described in the previous section. (This is because the list archives will incorrectly show the new message in the original thread if you use "reply".) You should quote enough lines from the original message that later readers can understand your answer even if they missed the original question. At the same time, you should remove any unnecessary lines from the quote in order to make your message shorter and easier to understand. (Remember that some people read the mailing list in digest form, and the digests become much larger if unnecessary lines are quoted.) In particular, in order to prevent mail loops, the list server will not accept messages that contain From:, Sender:, etc. lines pointing back to the sqr-users list, even if these lines are quoted (i.e. with ">" characters). Be sure to delete these from your reply message before sending it. 5. Job Announcements SQR-related job announcements are currently allowed on the list, subject to the following restrictions: o The subject line must begin with the words "JOB ANNOUNCEMENT:". o The message should be very short (fewer than 20 lines), giving brief details of the job and a way for those interested to get more information directly (i.e. web page or phone number). o The message should specifically remind people interested in the job to respond directly to the message author (and not to use their mailer's "reply" function, since that would send the reply out on the list). o Post job announcements as infrequently as possible.

Don't specify paper type. Using a predefined paper = type will establish width and depth settings that will overide whatever = you specify in those parameters. Instead, let the paper-size parameter = in your declare-layout specify the actual dimensions, i.e. = paper-size=3D(14.5in, 12in). Also, don't use the page-size = command.

In W95, we only have to choose from Windows print properties when we are using -printer:wp or using SQRV. In those cases, our print dialogue box allows us to create a "custom" paper size definition where you can define your own paper dimensions (i.e. special forms, etc). Are you not able to do that in NT? Beyond that feable advice, I can offer no other suggestions. Sorry.

Hi,

I have an sqr program which produces an SPF file as output.  Now we have to provide a HTML output and also split the files for each department.

  • I am using the new-report feature for splitting the files for each department.  This is working, but the extension for the file names are lost.  Only one file has the extension .htm.  I am using the -Printer:HT in the SQR Flags.  It is also automatically generating the TOC.  How do I suppress this?
  • What is the simplest way to do generate a HTML output from the existing sqr ? [The SQR guide mentions a command line that is supposed to convert SPF files to HTML output, which is not working;  So is the "Save As" command within the SQR Viewer - no clue as to where the HTML output goes].  I am receiving html output, but the output is not similar to what we receive in the SPF files.  For instance, we have condensed output and I am not able to get this.  I do get the smallest font, but when I print this, the right most columns are dropped.  Any idea how I can solve this problem?  Is there any setting in the .ini file that I need to take care of?  If anyone has a sample sqr, it would help me very much.

Any help in this matter would be appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance.

Kathy's answer is correct. Use the 'Before' procedure to print group headings. This way you will have a group heading for each group encountered during the run instead of only when the group has changed. The Manning Press book SQR FOR PEOPLESOFT AND OTHER APPLICATIONS has a nice example of this logic.

I am getting an error message in an SQR when I try to insert a char value into a table.

The table column that causes the problem is defined as Varchar2(47) and the data I am trying to place into it is a string.

Here is the error message:

(SQR 5528) ORACLE OEXEC error -1461 in cursor 3:
   ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

Error on line 94:
   (SQR 3735) Could not execute SQL.


Here is the statement:

    94        begin-sql
    95        insert into qc_acc_cf values (
    96  !Add name and replace funky values  - MLP
    97  !               nvl($nmc_acct_id,0) ,NULL, nvl($nmc_srvc_provider,0),
    98                 nvl($nmc_acct_id,0),replace(replace(replace(rtrim($nmc_name),chr(9),''),chr(10),''),chr(13),''),
    99                 nvl($nmc_srvc_provider,0), $region, $state ,to_number(nvl($super_acct,0)) , $clean_yymm )
   100       end-sql
   101        show (10, 2 ) 'Record: ' #rec_count
   102            !--  nvl($nmc_name,' ')
   103    end-if


and  here is the data that causes the problem (obviously not a long):

SECURITY CONSULTANTS GRP1 (SYS4)

Finally, here is the statement where we assign a value to the variable (from a read buffer):

let $nmc_name = ltrim( rtrim( substr( $readbuf, 14,43),' '),' ')

The statement works fine when I insert NULL. Initially I was receiving the error and I thought it was due to embedded tabs / returns, so I am using  the REPLACE statement on the value.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't confuse separate web pages from a single web page with page breaking. Using SQR printer options will yield separate web pages. A three page 'document' is actually three separate web pages (HTML files). A browser has no capabilities to interpret printer commands like page breaks, carriage returns or tabbing. How could it? Even if you 'space out' things so that a page 'appears' to break where intended, what would happen when the user alters the text size through the browser? I'm not talking about .PDF or .DOC or .RPT files, just .HTM/.HTML files. The advantage you gain with straight HTML is that you are truly browser independent - no third party server software or browser plugins needed - and that you can do other things like edit data and more easily pull data dynamically. The advantage you gain from a .PDF or other file is full control over formatting. In the end, it's a matter of knowing who your clients are and what software they have. For 'pure' internet apps, you usually end up using server-side processing with as little JavaScript as possible and send out straight HTML to the client. For reporting purposes, use HTML tables to format things as best as possible. If you get concerned with page breks, split the output into separate web pages and provide navigation to move from one to another. Finally, if you absolutely must use something like .PDF files, always always always provide a prominent link for users to download the software needed to open it. -----Original Message----- From: Ragu Sadasivam [mailto:sathyamangalam@HOTMAIL.COM] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2000 1:40 PM To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Subject: Re: Page breaks in HTML I tried this and ended with an error for the PDF file.

If you're wanting to create seperate HTML files for an 1800 page report, (which most browsers would take a while with), check out the -Burst command line flag (discussions of which are in the archives at www.scrug.com and in the books). It will make many HTML files instead of one based on various criteria. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Donald Mellen | Ray Ontko & Co. - Richmond, IN - http://www.ontko.com/ donm@ontko.com | "In the beginning, there was nothing, which exploded" From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Wed Jul 12 21:49:54 2000 Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 13:24:11 +1200 From: Anthony J Vesey Subject: Re: Page breaks in HTML Ragu, Page breaks are possible in HTML, although not necessarily 'on-screen' breaks. HTML is a structural markup language, defining elements (i.e this is a paragraph, a title etc). It is not designed for layout (i.e. page break here). The WWW consortium who define HTML and like standards have developed the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) stanard for this very purpose. It allows you to specify how elements on a page (of HTML) should be laid out, what colour etc. CSS2 is the latest recommendation and includes the ability to target output for different media. Therefore is is possible to produce an HTML file that looks like one page onscreen and when printed has the authors defined page breaks. To use these elements with SQR would require more effort however. And you would need to make sure that the customers browsers supported the standard. Sadly many current generation browsers do not support the standard properly, if only partially, and many are buggy to boot. And purists will argue that you can't force people to use a particular browser just to get page breaks. In summary , you might be able to implement page breaks but the results will be browser dependent anyway. The relevant standards can be found on the W3C page http://www.w3c.org http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ for Cascading Style Sheets and http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/ for HTML Hope this helps Anthony Vesey -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of SQR, Brio Technology's database reporting language [mailto:SQR-USERS@list.iex.net]On Behalf Of Ragu Sadasivam Sent: Thursday, 13 July 2000 08:28 To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Subject: Re: Page breaks in HTML The reason I am even concerned about page breaks is b'cos, the report originally was designed that way per customer's request.

The web is a browser display medium, not a print medium. The concept of "pages" (a la pieces of paper) with page breaks does not exist in HTML. Those who require fine web-to-paper control tend to use Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format files. With PDF ("Portable Display Format", I believe), you get the page-level control you need, plus fine control over fonts and text placement. Doesn't SQR offer PDF output?

I didn't mean to slam you - hope you didn't take it that way. The internet is the most generic platform ever devised. HTML is the most generic language ever devised (if you want to call markup commands a language - but that's a debate for another time) that is controlled by the W3C. The idea was to be generic. To be platform independent. There are a couple of concepts to grasp any time you develop for the web. These concepts are inherently different than Windows programming. First, understand what asynchronous modes of communicating between the client and server mean. Understand how precious bandwidth is. How to provide as much _perceived_ interaction and validation as possible while actually coding as little _actual_ interaction (read:bandwidth) as humanly possible. Second, understand that pure _internet_ (as opposed to _intranet_) apps have very little demands on any client. No software platforms, no minimum bandwidths, no browser versions. John Doe on his Mac may browse from NYC. Jane Doe with her Pentium III and IE5.5 may browse from Asia. Your boss may want to pull of info from his Palm Pilot! Pure internet apps try to work to the largest possible audience. Like someone just posted, if you desire good printing capabilities use a third party like Adobe/PDF or Crystal/RPT. Just don't expect to do it through HTML. As for BASESIZE... that may be an SQR option that you can change somehow. I'm new to SQR (as opposed to VB/COBOL/ASP/HTML) and can't help you. I was only trying to explain some background regarding some things everyone encounters when starting to program for browsers.

This format however seems to do away with the navigation buttons, in favor of empty tables as vertical spacers within the viewed HTML doc. Give it a shot, Ragu, if your SQR version supports it--it may be just what you're looking for. Cherno. >>> Anthony J Vesey 07/12 10:24 PM >>> Ragu, Page breaks are possible in HTML, although not necessarily 'on-screen' breaks. HTML is a structural markup language, defining elements (i.e this is a paragraph, a title etc). It is not designed for layout (i.e. page break here). The WWW consortium who define HTML and like standards have developed the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) stanard for this very purpose. It allows you to specify how elements on a page (of HTML) should be laid out, what colour etc. CSS2 is the latest recommendation and includes the ability to target output for different media. Therefore is is possible to produce an HTML file that looks like one page onscreen and when printed has the authors defined page breaks. To use these elements with SQR would require more effort however. And you would need to make sure that the customers browsers supported the standard. Sadly many current generation browsers do not support the standard properly, if only partially, and many are buggy to boot. And purists will argue that you can't force people to use a particular browser just to get page breaks. In summary , you might be able to implement page breaks but the results will be browser dependent anyway. The relevant standards can be found on the W3C page http://www.w3c.org http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/ for Cascading Style Sheets and http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/ for HTML Hope this helps Anthony Vesey -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of SQR, Brio Technology's database reporting language [mailto:SQR-USERS@list.iex.net]On Behalf Of Ragu Sadasivam Sent: Thursday, 13 July 2000 08:28 To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Subject: Re: Page breaks in HTML The reason I am even concerned about page breaks is b'cos, the report originally was designed that way per customer's request.

Hi Chris, Out of curiosity, are you asking on behalf of GoC Cluster or just your department? The advantages of HTML output should be fairly evident ... as are the disadvantages. We at Veterans Affairs took the middle-of-the-road approach, changing all our reports over to HPLaser output. This resolved a few things for us: first of all, it fixed the flakiness of the .LIS output reports (wherein network traffic could cause a printer to revert to its default settings thereby royally screwing up most reports). Two, it allowed us to use many of the SQR printing features unavailable in .LIS output such as graphics and images (you should see our Leave Statement ... a thing of beauty compared to what Cluster delivered). Three, it allowed us to use the SQR Viewer properly thereby saving an awful lot of trees. A feature of the Viewer is that it will allow the user to save the report in HTML format.

Hi Ragu, When you do a Save As HTML, the created files are put into C:\TEMP There will be a series of .HTM files created. Use your browser to open (File, Open File) the one called xxx_frm.htm (where xxx is the name of your report) et voilà. Before you do that though, you must copy all the .gif files you'll find in your SQRBINW\IMAGES directory over to C:\TEMP ... these are the navigation icons used if you select "write a separate file every x pages" (recommended) when you do your Save As HTML (I recommend you specify 1 page) and will allow the user to flip from page to page the way they can in Viewer/ Hope this helps.

If you have access from your Unix machine to NT you can have the .lis file created there using the -F function. (for example sqr -F //NTSERV01/lisfiles/report.lis) You can also make sqr write a ftp-commandfile and on the Unix server make a batchfile which first executes the sqr and then ftp's using the command file (-n option). For a .lis file this is probably the best.

To my knowledge the only way you can do this is to A) have an sqr (or another program) evaluate what columns are needed and dynamically modify/create another SQR which is then executed. B) figure out your max number of columns and create a variable for each possible column and programmatically control which variables are incremented and printed (easier then it sounds). There have been many times when references (perl style would be great) would have been invaluable to me. Hopefully it's in the cards for the future.

However, I need to rework my question. Since all procedures from the level of the break forward are executed whenever a break occurs I need to know in the program what caused the break so that I can do conditional processing (conditional on the level of the break). For example, if we have three levels of break in a given SELECT; level 2 breaks this causes level 2 and 3 procedures to execute. The question is how in the procedure associated with level 3 does the procedure know that the break was caused by level 2 and not 3? I know I could set up my own semaphores, but that is something of a pain and was hoping there was something built into SQR that would provide the information needed.

It's not the job of the language to provide a semaphore for you, so you do need to make your own sempahore or global variable to catch the break. Just create a variable $broken and move the procedure name to it if it isn't null. Make sure when you process the final break, you reset the variable to null. -Chris From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Thu Jul 13 22:27:25 2000 Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 21:07:54 -0500 From: Nathan Stratton Treadway Subject: Re: ON-BREAK Question On Wed, Jul 12, 2000 at 10:39:04AM -0400, Wanko, Christopher G, CFCTR wrote: > Just create a variable $broken and move the procedure name to it if it isn't > null. > Make sure when you process the final break, you reset the variable to null. Unfortunately, this doesn't do everything you want if you are looking for this information in "after" procedures -- since the procedures are executed in decending order, each individual procedure has no way to know whether or not a lower-numbered break level actually triggered the break. In cases where you need to know this information (for example, when you want to page break between breaks at any level, but only one page break "in a row"), then you end up having to set a flag to be examined outside of all "after" procedures (e.g. within the "before" procedures for all of the break levels) to deal with this situation. I, too, would like to see something like a #break-level reserved variable for use these situations....

We use two databases: one is Oracle, the other is 4D. The BrioQuery and BrioReporting (SQR) is working OK with Oracle. The BrioQuery is working also OK with 4D (we use the ODBC Driver for 4D Server). But still stays a problem to use BrioReporting with 4D: when we try to use the same driver, the following message appears when processing the created report: (SQR 5528) ODBC SQL dbftch error 0 in cursor 1: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Driver does not support this function. Error on line 31: (SQR 3725) Bad return fetching row from database. SQR: Program aborting. To document our environment: The Brio.Report Builder says about the SQR version: SQR Server/5.1/PC/ Windows NT 4.0/ODBC Level 2/Aug 19 1999 What is strange, is that the in the Expression Builder that can be called inside the BrioReportBuilder, the 'Show values' button show us some values coming from the 4D database. Can it be that the reason why it will not work is the lack of a SQR ODBC Driver for 4D (because for Oracle we use the SQR ODBC Driver for Oracle8)?

Maybe Ray can add BREAKability to IFs in the SQR wish list for ver. 7. A lot of existing code will break if BREAK is added to IF. BREAK is often used within a WHILE to conditionally break the loop. Some other languages allow you to specify the number of levels of nesting you wish to BREAK by putting a numeric argument after the BREAK keyword, but I think that this is unwise. It seems odd to allow an inner control structure to affect the processing of an outer structure. I think that the use of GOTO that has been discussed here is quite appropriate. I DO wish that SQR had an ELSE IF structure, however.

In other languages there is a RETURN statement that causes a procedure to exit immediately. There's no direct equivalent in SQR -- you have to fake it with GOTO or nested IFs or whatever so that execution flows to the bottom of your procedure and then passes back to the calling location in the usual way. A second but related question is "how can I skip over some statements and continue resume execution 'down the page a bit'". As other messages have said, GOTO may be appropriate here in SQR (and if there were some sort of "ELSEIF" we could avoid the need in many cases). The problem with using BREAK for this purpose is that it's not really clear where to jump to in this context -- how many IFs do you want to skip? However, you can just use a dummy WHILE to get around this problem: while 1 ! always enter loop; use BREAK to exit below if #x=1 let #y=2 break end-if if #y=2 let #x=7 break end-if break ! make sure we exit loop no matter what end-while In this case, the while loop gives a context out of which the BREAK should break.... (And, if this loop appears just before my END-PROCEDURE, then the BREAKs will basically act like "RETURNs" would have if they existed. :) ) Nathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nathan Stratton Treadway | Ray Ontko & Co. | Software consulting services nathant@ontko.com | Richmond, IN | http://www.ontko.com/ From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Wed Jul 12 17:37:33 2000 Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2000 17:19:05 -0400 From: Jenny Mckeon Subject: Column Headings Appearing Above level 1 break field print --=_1E4646C3.6F0E7E08 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline In my recently written report, I want the column headings to appear under = the department name.

You use "on-break...before=dept-change" - this would print your headings one line below the current line (since you specify (+1,1)). This will print before the data prints, since you said on-break=before. You then start printing the data, also initially at (+1,1), which would then print the data one line below the current line, which is the line with the headings on it. If you want to print your headings after all related rows have been selected, maybe you should investigate on-break=after instead of on-break=before.

BEGIN-HEADING 8, as you have specified, will reserve the first 8 rows of each page for the report heading. Other print commands will begin on the next available line. That is why the print commands in your Dept-Change procedure print below the heading columns. Keep in mind that the heading is the last part of the page to be printed. This means that if you use a variable in BEGIN-HEADING the contents of the variable when SQR reaches the end of the page will be printed (rather than the beginning). Good luck!

The nested If Jason used evaluates 3 variables (x, y and z) with only 2 branches for each. Trying to make this situation understandable through an Evaluate would be tough. Which brings me to maybe _the_ most important point - readability! Sure, 'modern' programmers frown upon GoTo statements... but sometimes the simplest way to maintain something is with that! Visual Basic - one of the more 'modern' event-driven languages - still requires GoTo statement for error handling (unless you can count on a RaiseEvent to be recognized by the client). I understand VB7 will change this, but for today, one of the most prevalent procedure-based languages uses it all the time. GoTo has it's own purpose: directing flow _out_ of an area. I'd never use it to jump to a routine, but to jump out of one I certainly do (like error handling). So why not also use it to exit out of a group of non-nested unrelated If statements?

We had already been considering this move but it looks like the decision has been made for us. http://www.forbes.com/tool/html/99/Nov/1105/mu4.htm Cognos lands PeopleSoft deal NEW YORK. 11:54 AM EST-Cognos the Ontario, Canada-based maker of business intelligence software, has scored enterprise resource planning software provider PeopleSoft as a new customer for its PowerPlay analysis and reporting software as well as its Impromptu enterprise query and reporting software. While neither company would reveal the dollar amount of the deal, PeopleSoft's chief information officer David Thompson told Forbes.com that it is a "worldwide" implementation that is one of the top two projects of the year for the company. He also said PeopleSoft selected Cognos over rival solutions from Brio Technology and Business Objects. PeopleSoft is in the process of moving many of its business processes over to the web, and Thompson noted that up until now, the company had a "weak" internal reporting strategy. "We've been using multiple tools from different vendors. This provides us with a standard architecture--a common tool that's much easier for us to administer," he said. The company had used PowerPlay to a limited extent in the past as one of those "multiple tools," but this deal marks a significant expansion of that relationship. Thompson said that a main reason for PeopleSoft's selection of the Cognos solution was its strong security matrix, noting that Cognos has built integrated security architecture across all its products. Cognos already has close strategic ties with PeopleSoft. Back in August the companies announced an agreement to comarket Cognos business intelligence solutions for use with PeopleSoft's human resources, finance, manufacturing and distribution applications. ------ From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Mon Jul 17 09:59:07 2000 Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 08:35:58 -0500 From: Brian Murray Subject: Re: Beginning of the end for SQR? I remember a similar announcement and similar concern for SQR's future in a PeopleSoft environment when PeopleSoft acquired an equity position in Actuate. 30 seconds later many, myself included, were asking: are you getting rid of SQR? should we convert all our SQR's to Actuate? etc. Well, we're still writing SQR's here so Actuate must not have been the killer that we thought it was going to be. SQR will be with us for a while and here's why: 1. PeopleSoft can't keep up with their planned enhancement curve, so there's little chance that they'll have time or resource to go back and rewrite the existing (semi-)working code base. 2. I've been working with SQR off an on for 8 years and I've repeated the same pattern 4 or 5 times: 1)start developing a new series of reports in Crystal/Impromptu/GUI report tool X; 2)discover that real report requirements are more complicated then originally thought; 3)attempt to squeeze/bastardize GUI tool to handle the most complex reports; 4)give up and write the simple reports in Crystal/etc. and the most complex reports in SQR. Why? Because, in the end, there are some reports that are going to require a programming language to precisely meet customer requirements and to meet them in a timely and efficient (performance-wise) manner. The above is one persons opinion, but one who's been through this cycle before. I hate using SQR (I refer to it as the worst of COBOL plus the worst of BASIC wrapped around a non-standard SQL syntax) and would love to have a replacement, but, in a PeopleSoft shop anyway, it will be with us for quite a while to come. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Clark" To: Sent: Monday, July 17, 2000 6:27 AM Subject: Beginning of the end for SQR? > We had already been considering this move but it looks like the decision has been made for us. > > http://www.forbes.com/tool/html/99/Nov/1105/mu4.htm > > Cognos lands PeopleSoft deal > rest of announcement deleted Brian Murray Management Information Systems Vanderbilt University From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Mon Jul 17 10:06:16 2000 Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 08:48:06 -0500 From: "Fetzik, John" Subject: Re: Beginning of the end for SQR? > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Murray [mailto:Brian.C.Murray@VANDERBILT.EDU] > Sent: Monday, July 17, 2000 8:36 AM > To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net > Subject: Re: Beginning of the end for SQR? > > > I remember a similar announcement and similar concern for > SQR's future in a > PeopleSoft environment when PeopleSoft acquired an equity position in > Actuate. 30 seconds later many, myself included, were asking: are you > getting rid of SQR? should we convert all our SQR's to Actuate? etc. > > Well, we're still writing SQR's here so Actuate must not have been the > killer that we thought it was going to be. > > SQR will be with us for a while and here's why: And don't forget that SQR is used in plenty places that are not PeopleSoft shops.

Since PeopleSoft is still programming new SQR's I would say that you might have a bit before you will need to worry about the application going away. With all the delivered reports that PeopleSoft now has utilizing this utility it would take them years to convert to a new tool. I will say that they are getting rid of SQR's to update PeopleSoft data. Like to close GL etc, but when it comes to producing reports to the end user community to run in batch the SQR tool is still the only thing they have in house. There are only a few wish lists items now that PeopleSoft has fixed it's security issues: 1) A good process scheduler - even buy one rather then develop one in house. 2) A good batch report tool from PS not from a third party that might pull the plug. 3) Apache webserver support is good but how about others, IIS not really fantastic in an all UNIX shop with only NT workstations. Also you might want a more stable environment for DB2 shops then the Windows NT Appserver.

I would join the most restrictive keys first (ones least likely to find rows) in order to minimize rows being processed for the next WHERE clause, but again, your database may optimize this by reordering automatically. > to optimize SQL code and have never > been given any training in how to optimize code. There should be an Oracle FAQ available (I have the Sybase one) that details some basic info on profiling SQL queries. The Sybase equivalent is running a "showplan" with "no execute"; essentially you run a query against the database without returning rows, but the database engine details how it would execute the query (what indices it would use, how it would process the query and in what order it would execute statements). -Chris From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Mon Jul 17 11:14:41 2000 Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 10:51:15 -0400 From: Jerry Coleman Subject: Re: SQL performance tuning.. As to the order, in Oracle it depends on the optimizer mode you're using. If you're using the cost-based optimizer, then it doesn't matter as to the join order. In rule-based, it does - you want to put the smallest table (the one returning the least rows) last. It doesn't matter the order of the where clause in either case. It does matter that you join all possible indexed fields, whether they be unique or non-unique indexes. Try to join as may keys as possible. You can force an index read sometimes by saying "where fieldx > ' '". Look in the docs about using explain plan. It'll tell you what Oracle does. If you use Toad, hit CTRL-E and see if it'll explain it for you. As for courses, I took an Oracle course by satellite a few years ago, and found it worthwhile. A performance tuning book by Richard Niemiec is also pretty good. Rick_Creel@AON CONS.COM To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Sent by: cc: "Discussion of Subject: SQL performance tuning..

There are a few things to say about query writing, although I'm not sure whether they all apply for all rdbms's. - the order of tables you specify is not important because the optimiser takes care of this - the order of where clauses are not imporatant because the optimiser takes care of this - do not use a function (isnull, max)on an indexed column, the index will not be used. - try not to use 'in' or 'not in', try rewriting the query using 'exists'. - try using <= and => rather than < and > Maybe this helps?

If you run sqr version 4 or 5 you have to use odbc ( so it is your case) see this example Begin-Program Do Main End-Program Begin-Procedure Main Begin-Select -DB'DSN=Sales;UID=scott;PWD=tiger' Ename, Job, Hiredate, Sal, Commission Do Insert >From Emp End-Select End-procedure !

These books are quite well written and have numerous examples to follow. They are not for administrators per se and are designed for the programmer / analyst who actually have to do the coding. Additionally, you can obtain the source code they use, if you buy the book, by going to the authors' website, www.sqrland.com You can get a 20% discount by ordering through their site, www.sqrland.com/sqr_book.htm or through the online book retailers. Unfortunately, the book is not well-distributed, as i found out, so that you probably will not be able preview the book in a bricks-and-mortar bookstore. I consider Landres' book the best book on the market about SQR, combined with PeopleSoft so far.

The reason you are getting the first line, is because the skipline only occurs if the Level-1 break clause is active. The on-break statement that you have commented out with the (+1,1) On-Break Print=Change will cause the line to advance, even if the field doesn't change and the detail isn't printed. Change the S.MONTHCD field select to: S.MONTHCD (+1,1) on-break level=2 save=$oldmonth PRINT=never !this causes detail lines to disappear before=Month-name That should fix the problem.

One file per employee? One file per day that shows all new employees added that day? If you can do this once daily, I would write an SQR that is run on a daily basis, via a batch scheduler process, and it would extract the daily information. The SQR can write the extracted data to a flat file, or to a report.... your decision. If you need this data immediately after the employee is added in PeopleSoft, then you can write PeopleCode and attach the code to the 'SavePostChg' event on the record. The PeopleCode on this event can write/append to a flat file or it could initiate a SQR process passing the EMPLID as a parameter. Hope this helps a little.

When sending to a Windows 95 station, I send both the HTM file and the .h00 File. The receiver copies the .h00 file to his windows.temp folder, then he is able to open the HTM file to see the report in HTML format. When I follow the same process sending to an N/T workstation, the receiver cannot open the HTM file as N/T has no windows.temp folder to place the .H00 file in. He therefore gets the message "netscape is unable to find the file or directory named /C|/WINDOWS/TEMP/FILENAME.h00". Does anyone out there know a way to get around this problem.

Subject: Reading from a flat file and writing to = another flat file


I want to write an SQR to extract phone contact data = from a text file, with
the values delimited by a ';' and to create an XML = file.

Text file has something like this:

Baker, = Ron;972-972-9729;972-972-7297;;9727927@skytel.com;1200

etc

The XML file must look like this:

  <PH>
    <EMPLOYEE>Baker, = Ron</EMPLOYEE>
    = <HOME_PHONE>972-972-9729</HOME_PHONE>
    = <PAGER>972-972-7297</PAGER>
    <CELL></CELL>
    = <PAGER_EMAIL>9727927@skytel.com</PAGER_EMAIL>
    = <WORK_EXT>1200</WORK_EXT>
  </PH>

etc

There will also be some other tags in the XML file, = but my question is this:

Will I need to create an array or temporary table in = a database to extract
the data from the text file, or can I directly read = the data from the text
file and then write it to the XML file?

I'm hoping to do something like:

Open 'a:\phonelis.txt' as 1 For-Reading = Record=3D100

       Do = Read-Input-File
!which would unstring the data into
! $NAME
! $HOME_PHONE
! $PAGER
! $CELL
! $PAGER_EMAIL
! $EXT


!and then

Open 'a:\Phonelis.xml' as 1 For-Writing = Record=3D100

       DO = Create-XML-File
! which would do something like:
!Write 1 From
! '<PH>'
! '<EMPLOYEE>'$NAME'</EMPLOYEE>'
! = '<HOME_PHONE>'$HOME_PHONE'</HOME_PHONE>'
! '<PAGER>'$PAGER'</PAGER>'
! '<CELL>'$CELL'</CELL>'
! = '<PAGER_EMAIL>'$PAGER_EMAIL'</PAGER_EMAIL>'
! '<WORK_EXT>'$EXT'</WORK_EXT>'
! '</PH>

Does this ROUGH outline look like it would = work?

Thanks in advance!

This is because all "$" variables that are not specifically declared are string variables by default. SQR is being told to put the date value into a string, which it auto-converts for you. To do the datediff, you need to declare the variables as dates, or datetostr() them after datenow (better to declare them).

We use Solaris 2.6 (SunOS 5.6) and Sybase 11.9.2. Both problems related to the treatment of fixed- vs. variable-length character strings being extracted from Sybase; this could lead to the kind of behavior that Nathan was talking about with printed items moving around the page. Case #1: In several reports we would do something like select convert(char, some_date_field, 110) &that_date_field and later, print 'some text ' () print &that_date_field () print ' some more text () In SQR 2, this would print something like this on the page: some text 08/02/2000 some more text However, in SQR 4, we would get something more like this: some text 08/02/2000 some more text Now, in the SYBASE convert() statement above, "char" should indicate a SYBASE data type to convert to, but as far as I know, there is no "char" datatype in SYBASE, or at least not in current versions, so this is a programming mistake in the report. (SYBASE allows a character string of fixed-length x to be declared as type "char(x)", not "char"). Apparently SQR 2 is more fault-tolerant and we got away with it, but SQR 4 seemed to think it was a fixed-length string whose length is unspecified or something like that, and so we got some strange-looking output. The solution here was to specify char(10) instead of char. Case #2: The way one of our reports was coded, it would create a temp table with datatype char(4), and then populate it with data which varies in length from 2 to 4 characters. Later on, the data would be pulled out into a variable, call it $compare, and we would have a statement such as: evaluate $compare when = 'a' ... when = 'bcde' ... when = 'fg' ... end-evaluate Lo and behold, this evaluate stopped working upon the SQR upgrade! SQR 4 was now pulling the data as 'a ' instead of 'a', 'fg ' instead of 'fg' and so on, and this would cause the when clauses not to match. This one took me nearly a full day to figure out, but I was able to get around it by simply changing the offending temp table fields from "char(4)" to "varchar(4)", since the data is variable-length anyway. These are the kind of unexpected little twists you need to be aware of. I hope it doesn't take you as long to figure them out as it took me.

Hi
I'm trying to execute the sqrw.exe = from the command line without getting the SQR V4.3.4 screen so I need = to pass the username , password , database and another

parameter  but without = success.
This is my command line : sqrw = c:\temp\test.sqr -id:\psoft\hr75\sqr\ -fc:\temp\ = -ZIFd:\psoft\hr75\sqr\pssqr.ini
I tried the -U parameter for the = username the -DB or -N parameter for the database parameter and again = without any success.

The other parameter is an integer = parameter that I'm using with the ASK function inside the SQR.

Is it possible to execute sqrw in the = command line without getting the SQR dialog?

Thanks

As he mentioned the syntax for the command line is {SQR Executable Path and name} {Report Path and name} {userid/password@database} {SQR Parameters} The third piece of the command line is the connect string (userid/password@database) and this is what you were missing. The syntax above works for Oracle (as James mentioned) so if you're on another platform the connect string might vary slightly. I know for MS SQL Server the syntax is: database/userid/password.
