Changes Since Previous Version Changes since the version dated 2001/01/26: o Announce new sqr-jobs mailing list; Job Announcements section updated to reflect this new list. 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 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 Copyright (C) 1999-2001 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 sqr-jobs : SQR Jobs This list may be used for posting SQR-related resumes, recruitments, job announcements, project announcments, help- wanted, work-wanted ads, etc. To join, follow the link above, or send any message to "sqr-jobs-subscribe@yahoogroups.com". peoplesoft-fans : PeopleSoft Fans Moderated list covering technical and functional aspects of PeopleSoft. To join, follow the link above, or send any message to "peoplesoft-fans-subscribe@yahoogroups.com". psusers : PeopleSoft Users For questions related to any aspect of PeopleSoft (including PeopleSoft-specific SQR issues). This list has merged with the Peoplesoft Fans mailing list and is no longer active, but the message achive can still be found at the link above. 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 Please do not post job announcements on the sqr-users list, but use the sqr-jobs list instead. (See ``Related Mailing Lists'' for more information on this list.) A large number of sqr-users subscribers do not want to receive job announcements (for various reasons) and such posts tend to cause a lot of disruption of the discussion on the list.

From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Wed Jan 2 09:58:34 2002 Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2002 09:50:36 -0500 From: Denise White Subject: Re: SQL expression not ended, perhaps missing &name Hi Kim, As someone else mentioned (wording it a little differently), within a BEGIN-SELECT, you need to indent all SQR code. In other words, you should begin the columns being selected, the FROM clause, and I think the WHERE clause in the first column of your program, but all the code between the columns and the FROM should be indented. This is definitely the problem you are having, as the two messages indicate the two BEGIN-SELECTs where the SQR code is not indented. I didn't closely examine all your code, but I also see another problem. In the Select-Prod-Client procedure (after first indenting that if statement!), 'if pc.gl_pay_type' should be 'if &pc.gl_pay_type'. You need the ampersand (&) to reference the selected column. Actually, there is really no point in including the aliases (&pc.gl_pay_type, &pc.position_nbr) next to the columns being selected, as those are the exact same names you get anyway, without explicitly declaring the aliases. In addition, your date processing is not going to work. You are moving date columns to the string variables $action_dt and $max_jo_term, and then trying to use these string variables as dates. You could declare these variables as date variables, but I am not sure exactly what format SQR will put them into - it may not be the Oracle native format that you are using in "if $action_dt => '01-Jan-2002'". I usually like to control the exact format myself for a compare (in a compare, if you set up the string in the right format, you don't need to declare the variable as date), so I would probably "select to_char(job.action_dt,'yyyymmdd') &action_dt" and then compare &action_dt to '20020101'. Finding the difference between $action_dt and $max_jo_term would probably require declaring two date variables and then doing the datediff SQR date function.

Paul, My understanding is that PeopleSoft bought the rights to the source code for SQR. I don't know any details of the ongoing relationship between Brio and PeopleSoft, but I assume that PS can now control which features get added and which bugs get fixed in _its_ version of SQR, and Brio will continue to license SQR and add features that open new markets for the product as a tool quite separate from those needed for PS. I don't expect PS to sell SQR separately from its products. There is some chance that the two versions of SQR will diverge over time, I suppose. I would expect that both versions will remain largely the same; SQR is a fairly mature product, and all of the enterprise reporting features are still core features for both Brio and PeopleSoft.

Note that on UNIX only reports I have only used this command with postscript reports. So before invoking the command I also do an image sizing procedure to ensure the image is scaled (with an aspect ratio) into the area that is being printed. I no longer have a copy of UNIX based SQR to test this on and provide examples; however, I can confirm that SQRs developed under WINNT BR 6 using postscript and nonpostscript when run on UNIX BR 6 just execute faster and print the same. (both gif and jpg. I don't know about bmp) So write and debug with NT and run production with UNIX Hope this helps.

I used a PeopleSoft supplied .sqc: #include 'setup31.sqc' !Portrait HP Printer Declare your image as an HPGL image: declare-image A1 type=HPGL-FILE source='/opt/psoft/syracuse/hrsa750/sqr/iofiles/registr/signature.hpg' ! location on UNIX server image-size=(40,6) end-declare Then just print the image: print-image A1 (66,8) The real (frustrating) problem is creating an HPGL file that SQR likes. I have tried various graphic packages to do this to no avail. There is a SQR that will convert a .bmp file to an .hpg (HPGL) format. It is found at the following web site: http://www.ontko.com/sqr/bmp_to_hpg.sqr It is shareware written by Ray Ontko. It does a wonderful job converting images. (thank you Ray!) Hope this helps. Stephen Wowelko, EDP Syracuse University - Information Systems >>> jwillson@DSSLTD.COM 01/02/02 02:12AM >>> Hi Bruce. See the print-image command. Note that on UNIX only reports I have only used this command with postscript reports. So before invoking the command I also do an image sizing procedure to ensure the image is scaled (with an aspect ratio) into the area that is being printed. I no longer have a copy of UNIX based SQR to test this on and provide examples; however, I can confirm that SQRs developed under WINNT BR 6 using postscript and nonpostscript when run on UNIX BR 6 just execute faster and print the same. (both gif and jpg. I don't know about bmp) So write and debug with NT and run production with UNIX Hope this helps.

I would wager that the culprit is SETENV.SQC. This sets several substitution variables for PeopleSoft date handling routines ... including Format-DateTime (in DateTime.sqc) which is invoked by the Convert-To-DTU-Date procedure in DateMath.sqc. Another possibility is that presumably (based on her use of the input command) Lisa's SQR is intended to run outside the PeopleSoft environment and is being run via SQRW. Lisa, is it possible that your command flags in SQRW are pointing to SQR.INI instead of PSSQR.INI (it is possible that these are not in synch)? This is where the SQR DB date format is defined (although I don't think your code would be dependant upon the DB date format). HTH, Peter >>> Betty Thompson 2002/01/03 1:06:21 pm >>> I'm still a beginner, so bear with me, please, if this sounds silly... Could you be missing some variable value that affects how the functions work? I shoved your stuff into a shell program and it worked fine (I only omitted the 'if' statement with the 'goto Done'). What I thought might be different is that I always use a shell with the same bunch of sqc includes. I built this shell after going to SQR class, and I never really look at it any more, but I think it sets a lot of variables regarding dates. I attached my test program and the log from running it.

If so check out what the html_set_head_tags actually outputs with regards to your temp string. You will probably find that your temp string is in the midst of the title that the html_set_head_tags is doing. ie you will probably end up with something like this. <STYLE type="text/css"><!!-- .bigHeading {....</STYLE> I remember also having problems with the squiggle brackets so I did this Let $LeftSquiggle = Chr(123) Let $RightSquiggle = Chr(125) if you have a look at the html.inc file you will find. begin-procedure html_set_head_tags($tags) let $outtag = '%%HEADTAGS=' || $tags print $outtag () code-printer=ht end-procedure ! html_set_head_tags I still haven't found out where or how the %%HEADTAGS is set.

Let $Title = $ReportID || ' - ' || $ReportName Let $CSSLink = 'rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="MyCSS.css"' Let $ExtraStyleTags = 'p.page' || chr(9) || Chr(123) || 'page-break-after:always' || Chr(125) Do html_set_head_tags($Title) Do html_CSS_link($CSSLink) Do html_extraStyle($ExtraStyleTags) Do html_extraStyle_end begin-procedure html_extraStyle($tags) if $tags = '' print '' () code-printer=ht end-procedure begin-procedure html_CSS_link($tags) if $tags = '' print '' () code-printer=ht else let $outtag = '' print $outtag () code-printer=ht end-if end-procedure I hope this helps. Try cutting and pasting but I can't guarentee anything as it was copied from an old version of a program I had lying around. Always test and retest it outside the portal first. We ended up simply writing programs to generate the html files outside of the portal and them load them using the OneAPI. For us it was a better option because we had a head of style sheet stuff in there, plus the programs were already written in ASP so conversion was a piece of cake. Also our ETL and other processing initiates the programs and we felt that we would have more control of when the reports are available. ie After we had checked them!

I'm having trouble with getting the printer to print the LIS file correctly. I am using lots of boxes and lines and shading to make the report look a little less text-based and more like a form. The SQR creates both an LIS and a SPF file. When I view the SPF file using SQR Viewer, it looks fine. When I print the LIS file, it cuts off the first line (that says "PeopleSoft" or "Your Company Name") and I had to alter the ColR variable because the standard heading info was being cut off on the right hand side. I'm printing landscape. Are there are good sources out there that deal with formating a report and printing problems?? bp From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Fri Jan 4 19:39:03 2002 Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2002 19:31:16 EST From: NEDOLPH@AOL.COM Subject: Re: LIS printing troubles OSHA form There is a different - perhaps better - way... Can you get the form - blank with nothing in it - as an MS word document? AND are you using an HP LaserJet Model III or later? If so, you can load this blank form directly into the printer one time and it will persist until you turn the printer off. Then feed just the data which will fill the form in to the lis file with an extra line of HP code to "Overlay" the form on the data before it ejects the page and goes on to the next record. Each data element must be positioned x to the left and y down (absolute) with each print command, but once you do it, it will stay done. If this has any appeal as an Idea, I can go into the details of how to convert the OSHA form as word document to HP LaserJet Stored template. and help you work out the HP Overlay Code string.

When moving between platforms, its quite often string dates that cause incompatibility issues. This is especially suspect since you are getting positive results in Query Analyzer, since you would have had to replace the $ variables with valid dates in order to execute the SQL there. My guess would be that you have a date variable in the installation settings that doesn't match the SETENV.SQC paramaters.

We ended up simply writing programs to generate the html files outside of the portal and them load them using the OneAPI. For us it was a better option because we had a head of style sheet stuff in there, plus the programs were already written in ASP so conversion was a piece of cake. Also our ETL and other processing initiates the programs and we felt that we would have more control of when the reports are available. ie After we had checked them!

My post was about controlling which colors print when using the PRINT-CHART command. The colors default to RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, FUCHSIA, etc. At the time, someone replied that Brio.Report 6.0 allows you to do so with the CREATE-COLOR-PALETTE command; however I was using SQR Workbench v4.1.1. Although it may not have been the most graceful solution, I got around the problem by populating an array data set with a zero whenever I wanted a color to be "skipped."

Example: ($comments is a line/sentence of text) print $comments (+1,10,30) wrap 60 6 This will print the line $comments at the specified position, for 60 characters, printing a maximum of 6 lines. Each additional line required as a result of the wrap will start at position 10 as specified.

On the field event of the record that needs to execute the other record's PeopleCode, this is what you do: (1) you declare the function (2) you call the function with any optional parameters. To declare the function: Declare Function {function name} PeopleCode {record}.{field} {field event}; To call the function: function_name(parameters); In my example below, the FUNCTION NAME is: EDIT_RUNCNTL_ID the RECORD name where the actual people code exists is called: FUNCLIB_PC the FIELD name that has the people code associated with it is called: RUN_CNTL_ID the EVENT that triggers the execution of the people code is called: FieldFormula Putting all this together, the statement to call this code would be: Declare Function edit_runcntl_id PeopleCode FUNCLIB_PC.RUN_CNTL_ID FieldFormula; edit_runcntl_id(RUN_CNTL_ID); Hope this helps some.

This is a good description of a solution to the problem. But what you can't do is just call any old event-related PeopleCode for any field object anywhere. So at no point can you say anything like personal_data.emplid.rowinit which would sure be handy for populating Emplids, etc. Of course, from one perspective, clearly PS PeopleCode events are not strictly procedures or functions; they can't take parameters or return values. So it kind of makes sense... But for those of us who have worked on event-based languages like Visual Basic, this seems really odd. We expect to be able to call any Event code from anywhere, and treat it like a procedure. However, this is not allowed within PeopleCode. The only solution is to bundle the PeopleCode you want into a fieldFormula and call it that way. This means you can't just call PeopleSoft code for certain business processes, because they are tied to particular events for particular records, and not stored as funclib functions. My hope is that version 8 will give us some more flexibility in some of this, but I don't know enough about the whole set PeopleCode/AppEngine changes that relate to this. If someone out there has done PeopleCode 8, I'd really like to know how this might work... DTH (after all, why wait six weeks for training when you can get it 'online'...?)

Yeah, that's why I followed up to Rick's suggestion. The first time I ran across this, I was really annoyed (why the heck do they call it event driven, after all?), but after a while I just realized it was another one of those joyful PS idiosyncracies... If PS 8 can handle events the 'proper' way, then the AppEngine/PeopleCode stuff may be very cool -- but I'm not going to get my hopes up...

If you plan to be READING XML, or have extensive XML processing needs, you may want to consider SQR for DDO. This is like SQR for Oracle, SQR for DB2, etc, except that it allows you to read from a number of non-SQL data sources, like XML and SAP. Ray > Hi, > > I am trying to have SQR output in XML format.

Sybase 11.9.2 SQR 4.3.2.1 Windows NT4 Hello, This is a bit of a newbie question and any help would be greatly appreciated: When using an SQR program to process data files and do database inserts/updates, occasionally a problem such as corrupt data will cause SQR to exit with a "Command aborted" message (for instance if a to_number() function accidentally tries to convert a text character), with no simple way to find out which record caused the problem. What I would like is to have a chance to record the transaction or record number that caused the problem before the whole SQR program aborts, or preferably even skip over the errored record and continue with the processing. Is there any sort of general "error trapping" command or parameter in SQR (similar to the ON-ERROR for SQL statements) which would for instance call an error procedure before the program quits? Or can you suggest anything that would have a similar effect?

If you have SQR 4.0 or later, you can do date arithmetic on the 2 dates you pull out (by pulling them as dates preferably) and possibly declaring some date variables for interim calcs. If you have an earlier SQR, or if you "have" to pull out the value as a column of the select for whatever reason, you might try something like... replace( to_char(trunc((run_date_l - date_time_stamp_l) * 24, 0),'999') || ':' || to_char(trunc( ( ((run_date_l - date_time_stamp_l) * 24) - trunc((run_date_l - date_time_stamp_l) * 24, 0) ) * 60, 0),'09') || ':' || to_char(trunc( ( (((run_date_l - date_time_stamp_l) * 24) * 60) - trunc(((run_date_l - date_time_stamp_l) * 24) * 60, 0) ) * 60, 0),'09') ,' ','') Which woud give you the difference in HH24:MI:SS format (for example, switch to whatever format you need).

We want most of our reports to be available for viewing online, printing, downloading for use with other applications and editing. Using the -printer:ep option, I have been able to create HTML, PDF, and CSV files.

How can I also output a text file that could be opened in MSWord for editing. I still need to preserve ON BREAK, headings, subtotals;etc, so I can't just "write" to a file like I do with the CSV file.

Also, using the "-printer:ep" option, the PDF file looks terrible. I lose any "BOLD" formatting and my fonts get converted to courier causing data to be overwritten (fields overlap).

P.S. I've searched the archives, but didn't find anything that was relevant to SQR 6+ for multiple output formats. This doesn't have to be a ".doc" file as long as all of the data (from the pdf and html files) is included.

Thanks for your help!

Debbie

The no. of fields I want to select each time is also uncertain. I plan to get all the fields as separated by commas which I can parse and count. But how do I use the same in the 'begin-select' clause? The resultset I require is just a csv file. Therefore I think I will not encounter any problem in writing the results. If anybody have done this before, or has any idea as to how this can be done, could you please help me? Thanks and best regards, Subha.

Then when you read them in, you would set them up as a variable. If any of the total are blank you need to set them to null. For example, say your table has the ability to select 9 fields. You would have 9 variables for the select fields, say $dummy1, $dummy2, $dummy3. let $dummy1 = '' let $dummy2 = '' etc. then in your begin-select, you would have: begin-select [$dummy1] &dummy1=char [$dummy2] &dummy2=char from .. where... There are a few constraints doing it this way, but it does allow it to be dynamic. hope that helps.

query Shuba, I think you should be able to find more details in our archive. One of the method is, you can build a dynamic variable by concating all the selected fields to looks like this lET $TEMP = EMPLID || ',' || JOBCODE || ',' || RATE_1 and you can use this dynamic variable in your begin select. ex begin-select [$test] &test=char from table1,table2 end-select The column variable &test is already in CSV format which you can use directly write to the output CSV file.

Unfortunately, there is no printer-independent support for italics in SQR. I'm not sure why, but I suspect that traditionally it couldn't be implemented on line printers or dumb terminals, and they never got around to adding it later. If you're printing directly to an HP or PS printer using -printer:hp or -printer:ps, you might be able to use PRINT-DIRECT to tell the printer that the text is to be displayed in italics. For HP this shouldn't be too hard, but for PS, you'll need to know a little about PostScript. Here's are some HP suggestions: http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/sqrusers_99q3/msg01020.html http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/sqrusers_99q3/msg01021.html Here's a PostScript suggestion: http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/sqrusers_98q1/msg00062.html You can search the SQR-USERS archives yourself by visiting http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/ Ray [Charset iso-8859-1 unsupported, filtering to ASCII...] > Hi, > I'm working on SQR 4.3.2.

But, let's not jump to conclusions about Ivan's malicious intent to spam the newsgroup. I have looked at Ivan's posts in the past in the Archives and they are all on topic and appropriate. More likely, this nonsense was an internal (QWEST) program which went through eveyrone's personal address books and sent that e-mail out. I say hold QWest responsible, and not Ivan. Certainly, if this was an intentional act on Ivan's part I would expect an apology from him at the very least. clark 'the dragon' willis dragon enterprises, consulting services "doing it right, the first time, for less" PSA: Salary <> Slavery.

But, let's not jump to conclusions about Ivan's malicious intent to spam the newsgroup. I have looked at Ivan's posts in the past in the Archives and they are all on topic and appropriate. More likely, this nonsense was an internal (QWEST) program which went through eveyrone's personal address books and sent that e-mail out. I say hold QWest responsible, and not Ivan.

Unfortunately, there is no printer-independent support for italics in SQR. I'm not sure why, but I suspect that traditionally it couldn't be implemented on line printers or dumb terminals, and they never got around to adding it later. If you're printing directly to an HP or PS printer using -printer:hp or -printer:ps, you might be able to use PRINT-DIRECT to tell the printer that the text is to be displayed in italics. For HP this shouldn't be too hard, but for PS, you'll need to know a little about PostScript.

I have used Ghostscript for this purpose on Sun Solaris.

Laura, We have had great success with GhostScript's ps2pdf utility to convert PostScript to PDF. We couldn't use the PDF straight from SQR since we had to print reports with vertical text and a mixture of landscape and portrait in the same report. I would be interested to know if your problem is a known bug and if it has been fixed in a later version. I don't have experience using Distiller so I can't give a comparison, but GhostScript has really worked well for us. It is fast, reliable, fairly no-hassle and I have generated PDF's as large as 20 MB with no problem. I have used gs both on Linux and Solaris. What flavor of unix are you using? On Solaris you will probably want to use ps2pdf13 to generate PDF according to the latest standard. Also we had to make a small change to the postscri.str file.

Interesting. We are using GhostScript 5.5 and have never had that problem. What version of SQR are you using? What is the change you are needing to make to the PostScript files? Could you just make this change in the postscri.str file once? Just curious, Eric George Jansen wrote: >I have used Ghostscript for this purpose on Sun Solaris.

Example: (this query is nonsense, but it illustrates a working syntax) Select trunc(posted_date), count(*), sum(line_amt) from ps_item_line_sf where trunc(posted_date) > TRUNC(LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-2))) and trunc(posted_date) <= TRUNC(LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1))) group by posted_date Assuming you are using Oracle, do you know about the DUAL table? It lets you play around with functions and system variables without using hardly any resources. Example: SELECT TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE),'YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS') today, TO_CHAR(TRUNC(LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-2))),'YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS') day_before_prior_mo_beg_dt, TO_CHAR(TRUNC(LAST_DAY(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-1))),'YYYY-MM-DD-SSSSS') prior_mo_end_dt FROM DUAL --------------------------------------- Regarding your listing, I think you want an outer join, so that the query "pretends" to find a row with zero qty ordered for any item that wasn't included in the order. I'm not certain I understood what you were asking, but I hope this helps. Suppose Order_Hdr_tbl contains three columns, named 'Order_Nbr', 'Customer' and 'order_dt'. Suppose Order_Dtl_tbl contains three columns, named 'Order_Nbr', 'Fruit' and 'order_qty'. Select a.customer, sum(b.order_qty) apple_qty, 0 orange_qty, 0 grape_qty, 0 misc_item_qty from Order_Hdr_tbl a, Order_Dtl_tbl b where a.order_dt between $From_Dt and $To_Dt and a.order_nbr = b.order_nbr(+) and b.fruit = 'apples' group by a.customer union Select a.customer, 0 apple_qty, sum(b.order_qty) orange_qty, 0 grape_qty, 0 misc_item_qty from Order_Hdr_tbl a, Order_Dtl_tbl b where a.order_dt between $From_Dt and $To_Dt and a.order_nbr = b.order_nbr(+) and b.fruit = 'oranges' group by a.customer union Select a.customer, 0 apple_qty, 0 orange_qty, sum(b.order_qty) grape_qty, 0 misc_item_qty from Order_Hdr_tbl a, Order_Dtl_tbl b where a.order_dt between $From_Dt and $To_Dt and a.order_nbr = b.order_nbr(+) and b.fruit = 'grapes' group by a.customer union Select a.customer, 0 apple_qty, 0 orange_qty, 0 grape_qty, sum(b.order_qty) misc_item_qty from Order_Hdr_tbl a, Order_Dtl_tbl b where a.order_dt between $From_Dt and $To_Dt and a.order_nbr = b.order_nbr(+) and b.fruit not in ('apples','oranges','grapes') group by a.customer order by customer Your result table will consist of customer, apple_qty, orange_qty, grape_qty, and misc_item_qty. If Nag's orders combined consisted of 3 apples, 1 bottle of wine and 4 tablets, his report line would read: Customer Apples Oranges Grapes Misc.

Something like this: BEGIN-PROGRAM BEGIN-SELECT item &item ! e.g. apple etc LET $item=&item DO get_amount($item, #amount) print $item (+1,13) print #amount (,26) FROM all_items END-SELECT END-PROGRAM BEGIN-PROCEDURE get_amount($p_item, :#p_amount) BEGIN-SELECT sum(*) &amount LET #p_amount=&amount FROM orders WHERE item=$p_item END-SELECT END-PROCEDURE Hope this helps, Jill Subject: SQR Date comparison in Database Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 20:18:53 +0530 Hi, I have a Question in SQR date comparison with database .In Database , we have the Values for Dates in UTC ( sec's past Jan,1,1970) Ex: the value of Oct-01-2001 21:02:33 will be stored as 1002056553. Question I want to compare the dates alone , and count the no of Orders leaving aside the time Portion of UTC .Because in a Day i may have multiple orders raised in specific time intervals Oct-01-2001 21:02:33 no of orders-5 Oct-01-2001 22:03:33 no of orders -10 Oct-01-2001 23:03:33 no of orders -20 Oct-01-2001 23:03:34 no of orders -5 I have to find the aggrecate of this Date as display as follows : Oct-01-2001 40 ( Fruits ) Leaving the time in Display is not a Problem .I have wriiten a function in Ucall.c , to convert UTC to the Required time Format . But i wish to do my comparisons with Respect to date and not with respect to Date and time Can u suggest me a way please as usual .Again this is in the hit list.We tried a method and it did work , but i feel it found about.We passed the UTC to a function in ucall.c which returns the truncated date string.we made the aggrecate with this .Is this the way out ? another Question : To compare i have the list in a table (orange,grape,wine,tablets etc ).The table which am comparing has the value from one among the list . Example: a customer drops in and Buys just apples. I have the show a tabular Report which should have Nags orange=0 grape=0 apple=5 etc xxx and so- on a 0 for the items not listed in the query has to be displayed .We tried a round about way and it did work .If the Database had a null value then there is no problem we can do it , but it has the value which is one among the list from the table .For the other ones which are'nt in pict , i should display a report . Kindly suggest me a way for this too. Thanks in advance .

Andrew From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Fri Jan 18 12:08:41 2002 Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2002 11:32:52 -0500 From: Joy Hoyte Subject: Re: Procedure: Selection from different schemas Andrew, The If statement around the column name won't work because in dealing with the Select statement, SQR first pulls out the SQL and builds a result set, then goes back to process that result set row by row according to the SQR commands within the Begin-Select. So at the time it is actually interpreting the SQL, it is not yet looking at any SQR commands that may be within the begin-select. To achieve what you are wanting to do, you could set up a begin-select with dynamic column variables. In the same way that you use a variable for the schema name, you can use variables for the column names. Something like the following example: begin-select [$column1] &col1=number [$column2] &col2=char etc. sqr commands from [$schemaName].tbName end-select You can have as many column variables as you wish, but note that you have to provide an &alias as well as the datatype for each variable. Then BEFORE you call the procedure containing this select statement, you can do the if-logic to assign the appropriate column names to the variables depending on the schema that is in force. E.g. if $schemaName = '{THISSCHEMA}' move 'tbName.fieldName' to $column1 move 'xyz' to $column2 etc. end-if Hope that helps.

I have tried your suggestion. The problem is that the table has different fields in the two schemas and some fields are only in one schema. I had tried moving a null value into the dynamic variable for the case where the schema did not have the particular field – This didn't work. However, your suggestion broke my mental block and I can see a resolution... I can move a duplicate field into the dynamic variable for the case where the schema does not contain the field which is only in the other schema. I have every confidence that the solution will work... Many thanks indeed.

Oracle 8.06 on UNIX SQR 4.34 As a follow up: I found the report. It was placed in a different directory. Our installation indicates that all reports should go to this directory: /opt/psoft/fs758/appserv/prcs/acfst1/output I actually found the report in this directory: /opt/psoft/fs758/sqr/acfst1 In other words, the report was put into the directory where the actual SQR code resides. Other SQRs that produce single reports have no problem putting the report in the standard output directory. Only this SQR is putting the report where it doesn't belong. Now.. the only difference between this SQR and others is that the other SQRs use some default "include" files that define report & layout specifications. This SQR did not use those include files, but instead, has its own DECLARE-LAYOUT and DECLARE-REPORT definitions. Is there some statement I need to put in my DECLARE sections that tells the SQR to use the default output directory?

If your report has multiple outputs the program only knows where to put the first output, the other reports are lost. A fix to this is to do a new report for each report output and specify in the new report the output directory.

We are using SQR 6.1.4 and Sybase 12.0+

Printer type = PD or EP, creates the PDF output with the table of contents when the report output is fairly small, but skips all the data on the first page. If the report is large, no toc, good first page, then errors or blank pages follow.

Tech support said 6.2 fixes this.

To be sure that invoice.invoicedate was null I had inserted a null value for this field into the particular record. It seemed odd. Even moving &invoicedate to a local variable ($invoiceDate) terminated the routine and the same error message was displayed. Before I left yesterday evening I had a work around: On selecting invoice.invoicedate convert it to a char (&invoiceDateChr) Then when invoicedate is NULL then isnull(&invoiceDateChr) returns the expected value of 1 My interpretation is that on selecting a date into: &dateRetrunedFromDB = date then if the date selected is null &dateRetrunedFromDB does not contain NULL since it has the date formatting chars (mm : ss). I have not yet been able to confirm this since move &invoicedate to $invoiceDate also causes the routine to terminate and give the error. I will try some other ways to see what &dateValue ( = date) contains when a null date is selected into &dateValue. I accept you point regarding the determination of the length to see if the value is null/not null. I have tried: let #length = length(&invoicedate) show 'invoicenum: ' &invoicenum ' - length: ' #length This falls over with the same error - Month must be between 1 and 12. I take your point regarding the determination of the length of &invoicedate. If the number of formatting chars which &invoicedate contains when invoicedate is null is less than the whole invoicedate string when invoicedate is not null then it should be possible to distinguish between null and none null dates. I have tried your suggestion which looks fine. However, it falls over when SQR tries to parse length(&invoicedate). The routine terminates; the same error is displayed. The only workaround that I have is to determine and trap a null date is to convert the date selected into a char. Many thanks. Trust that all is well...

If the program were detecting an error in the show statement for 1052, I would have thought that it would not have performed any part of that show statement, and it is clearly doing the show. I might be wrong, though. Or it could possibly be a statement after the show - I have found that the line numbers in the error messages are not always 100% accurate. I don't really agree with the other responses you have gotten that the date is not null, as the first select you are indicating only selects it if the date is null, so that seems to me to prove that it is indeed null.

How about encouraging the newbies to look in the manual first? Self help is the best way of learning. In addition you might find, experienced programmers trying to pick up SQR who might just need a push in the right direction here and there. New people to SQR / Brio certainly bring value to a user group like this, simply because they bring different ideas, have come from different backgrounds and can share experience. This includes newbies. Someone might bring a heap of HTML experience to the group or a DB2 or Oracle experience etc or even a graduate who is keen to learn and discovers a few things here and there that nobody knew. On the other hand I can see where you are comming from. I for one would not be too cooperative with a person whom I had to teach my skills to so they could take my job! But this group is not about that. This group is about people sharing and helping. Well that's what I thought anyway. All I can say is that when someone asks me a basic question at work I tell them to look in the manual. That way they become confident and familiar with the manual / help files and with helping themselves. That said though, I will still keep an eye on them and help them through and real difficulties.

I have confirmed the error to be due to that for invoicenum = 1052 by putting conditions around show statement. The show statement is executed left to right and falls over when the show attempts to parse &invoicedate with the null value. (The default log file shows all arguments up to and including the one prior to &invoicedate.) If the show argument &invoicedate is commented out then there is no compiler error. With null selected into &invoicedate, SQR parses if isnull (&invoicedate) without a compiler error. However it parses it incorrectly as 0 (FALSE). ______________________ As an aside, if null is selected into &invoicedate then if isblank( &invoicedate ) is also passed as 0 (FALSE). However, if null has been selected into &invoiceDate compiler errors occur if the following statements are executed: let #invoiceDateLength = length (&invoiceDate ) move &invoiceDate to $invoiceDate !$invoiceDate was not declared as a date - see comment below. I suspect that the issue is with SQR. ______________________ A colleague commented: If $invoicedate is declared as a date type you can't move a null value into it because you can only place a date in it I think. SQR bug? I explore this comment on Monday. ______________________ There are two work arounds. 1. Convert to the date to a char in which case I suspect that the date formatting chars are stripped out. 2. As suggested by Betty Thompson: select invoicenum, NVL(invoicedate,TO_DATE('01-01-1900','MM-DD-YYYY')) from invoice then: if &invoiceDate = TO_DATE('01-01-1900','MM-DD-YYYY') show 'invoicenum: ' &invoicenum ' is NULL' else show 'invoicenum: ' &invoicenum ' - Invoicedate: ' &invoiceDate end-if Andrew ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: Denise White To: Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 4:17 PM Subject: Re: Odd Error: Month must be between 1 and 12 > Hi Andrew, > > Is it possible that it is actually the row after 1052 that is causing the > problem?

Hmmm, Not sure what I am stepping into here, but SQR is a procedural programmuing language, and as such, should be used by programmers who know what they are doing -- not by end users. There are so many wonderful "things" you can do with sqr; it would be frightening to imagine users performing most of these without proper training. Just because sqr is deployed with ADP, HRizon or Peoplesoft doesn't mean every end user should be using it. In the end, knowledge belongs to everyone, but giving a clueless person enough knowledge to cause devastation hurts us all. My never humble opinion clark 'the dragon' willis PSA: Salary <> Slavery.

But I had to reply to this one because I say if you're going to be telling people not to respond to questions on a user board, then you yourself should not be on the user board. If someone knows the answer and can help someone out, don't tell them not to. That's ridiculous. I myself have an MIS degree. I'm not a "skilled programmer" and don't claim to be. None of my training is in SQR and I actually would prefer to use other means, but unfortunately I'm locked in that this is what comes with the system I help support and I have to use it, so since I don't know the system really well, I may need help that others can answer, so far I haven't used this for that, but if the time comes, I sure hope there aren't selfish people out there withholding information because I'm not a "skilled programmer"... -----Original Message----- From: Rhiain Musser [mailto:rmusser@BRYNMAWR.EDU] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2002 8:04 AM To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Subject: Re: Freebies! Yes and obviously, some of us are beginner programmers whom apparently haven't earned the title of being 'skilled programmers' such as yourself. I myself was not looking for a 'freebie' but to be pointed in the right direction - how else are we to learn if you can't ask questions? Was there a required amount of experience you have to have in order to participate here?

Hey David, First you have been whining about whiners and now you're at it again. What is your problem with these people asking for "Freebies"? I have been a programmer for the last 22 years with 10 programming languages to my credit and the only time I can enhance my knowledge is to interact with such a wonderful user groups like this. I can only reflect to myself that, once, I too was a BEGINNER savy for every knowledge that somebody can share with me. I can only say that you are insecure and perhaps need some really really big help(from shrink).

This has been quite an interesting thread so I am throwing my 2 cents worth. I don't have problems with newbies or even those who fess to be one. I share what I can and given the fact that this is quite a large list, ones reputation will precede them. Now, you'll find that I haven't posted anything which looks like I am sharing...that is because I do it privately. I send it directly to the requestor. Keep in mind that these newbies could someday become our client or even a co-worker. I remember one such newbie a couple of years ago. He was the kind who would be posting requests almost every day. Over a period of time, he became a contributor and a very valuable one too. He is now working for a respected consulting firm. What an evolution! That person could have been...YOU!
