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 This list has merged with the Peoplesoft Fans mailing list and is no longer active, but the message achive can still be found at the link above.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.

TextPad will detect changes to the file, but only when Windows actually decides to write to the disk. Because of the way that Windows caches disk reads and writes it can be a while before the write shows up on disk and that information is available to other programs. Basically under Windows you can not count on the contents of a file if any program has it open. John S.

Basically under Windows you can not count on the contents of a >file if any program has it open. This makes perfect sense to me... but it doesn't fit what I saw. I was able to get "current info" to show in TextPad if I used the "Revert to saved" command, which basically re-read the disk. Because this seemed to work, I take it that Windows was writing stuff to disk, but TextPad wasn't catching the updates. I'd bet that something got lost in the "update" process -- either TextPad wasn't looking, or Windows wasn't notifying it. Either way, knowing I can "refresh" is good enough for me.

Using .CSV (Comma Separated Values) output format allows you to open the file with Excel, which keeps formatting nice and eliminates wrapping. Excel also allows printing in a variety of formats. Here it is: !--------------------------------------------- !

What does the error say? My guess is that when you wildcard the filename, it is probably PROMPTing you with an "are you sure you want to do this?" type of message. It may work when you do the DOS command because PROMPTING might be turned off when you open a MS-DOS window. Most command languanges have a command that turns off the interactive mode when you want to run something via batch and you want it to work no matter what In DOS, the parameter is /Y In a DOS window, do a COPY /? to receive help on the copy command.

This can be done with SQR/DDO (Direct Data Objects), or you can write your own XML parser in SQR.

Take a look at the commands ALTER-CONNECTION, BEGIN-EXECUTE (which has its own flavor of BEGIN-SELECT), CONNECTION, DECLARE-CONNECTION, and LOAD-LOOKUP. Also, take a look at command line option -ZRF. DDO is Brio's "Direct Data Objects" technology. It provides access to a wide variety of data sources, not just relational. You can use it to access JDBC, SAP/BAPI, XML, CSV, Essbase OLAP cubes, DCOM, and CORBA. What's more, it's extensible. You can write your own drivers to access data in custom data sources and applications. When you purchase SQR, you can purchase SQR with the DDO data source drivers (instead of SQR/Oracle, for example). Brio ReportBuilder also provides support for DDO, but you need PersonalSQR/DDO. Also it can only build JDBC and SAP/BAPI reports using the report creation wizards and templates. The other data source types don't (currently) provide enough catalog information to be able to work with the report creation wizards. You can get a copy of SQR/DDO from Brio or any authorized Brio Reseller. Ray Ontko & Co is a reseller. Give me a call 765-935-4283, or call your Brio sales person. You should be able to use the UFUNC mechanism of SQR under Windows to access any Microsoft DLL. If you want to use OLE directly from SQR, you'll probably have to take this path.

I need to be able to detect when I am at the end of the select (the equivalent of an end-of-file condition on a flat file). I will try to explain what I am trying to do and hopefully it will not be too confusing! On the top two levels (region_cd & support_team_mbr), I need to page break. On the major level, region_cd, I want to do the page break every time - no problem. However, on the support_team_mbr, if it is the last in the region_cd, I only want to skip a line and then print the region_cd totals; the page break will come after the region_cd totals. If the support_team_mbr is not the last in the region_cd, I do want to do a page break. Something like this: [detail lines] support_team_mbr 1 totals region_cd 1 totals [page break] [detail lines] support_team_mbr 2 totals [page break] [detail lines] support_team_mbr 3 totals region_cd 2 totals (includes support_team_mbr 2 + 3) So, here are my on-break clauses: v.region_cd () on-break print=never after=Region-Brk save=$hold_region level=1 m.support_team_mbr () on-break print=never after=Team-Mbr-Brk save=$hold_team_mbr level=2 In my Team-Mbr-Brk procedure, I have the following: if &v.region_cd = $hold_region and not isnull(&v.region_cd) new-page else position (+1) end-if This works fine, until I hit the end of the select. There, it prints the last support_team_mbr totals, does a page break, and prints the region_cd totals! I added the not isnull() condition, thinking that at the end, null values would have been returned to signal the program that it was finished, but apparently it does not return a null row, but retains the last values. So, at the end, &v.region_cd does equal $hold_region. Is there anything I can add to the condition so that at the end of the select, it falls into the 'else'? It would also help me in my header, so I could blank out some values I am printing in the header when I print the grand totals on a final page, and would prefer to not see the last values still printing.

A few thoughts: As an aside: SQR leaves the value of the last row selected in the & variables so that you can use those values later on in your program. Normally, the easy way to tell that you have finished processing all the rows from a select is that program execution drops past the END-SELECT. This should be good enough to fix the headers on the grand total page: right after the END-SELECT, but before you actually print the grand totals, just blank out the variables that you want to surpress from the header. That way, when the grand total page is "ejected" and the BEGIN-HEADING section is printed, those values will be blank. (Alternatively, you could set a "done-with-select" flag variable, and then check that variable in the BEGIN-HEADING to decide whether or not to print certain lines of the heading.) Controlling when to do the page breaks within the select is more difficult. Essentially, you need to know when you print the support_team_mbr totals if you are going to also be printing the region totals right afterwards. A more general way to phrase this question is "At which break level was this break triggered?" In other words, what you want to know in the support_team_mbr AFTER procedure (which is level=2) is whether it is being executed because of a level 2 break (in which case the level 1 procedure will not be executed, and the page break should be generated by this procedure) or because of a level 1 break (in which case this procedure should allow the the page break to be generated by the level 1 procedure). This is a common situation, but unfortunately SQR does not currently have a way to give your program this information. (You'll find this topic on our Suggested Enhancements page, http://www.ontko.com/sqr/enhancements.html ; currently it's Enhancement #5). I don't know of a good way to tell, from within an AFTER procedure, if the row of data just processed was the last row or not. What I do in this situation is use a flag set in the AFTER procedures to indicate to the BEFORE procedures that they need to do do the page breaking before they do the processing they'd normally do. (Normally I'd call the "check" procedure from the very top of my existing BEFORE procedures, but since you don't have any BEFORE procedures you can probably use the "check" procedure itself as the BEFORE procedures, as I've shown below.) So, your program would look something like this: begin-procedure main move 0 to #need_page_break begin-select v.region_cd () on-break print=never level=1 before=check_need_page_break after=after_region save=$hold_region m.support_team_mbr () on-break print=never level=2 before=check_need_page_break after=after_support_team_mbr save=$hold_team_mbr ETC... end-select do check_need_page_break move '' to $hold_region move '' to $hold_team_mbr do print_grand_totals ETC... end-procedure ! main begin-procedure after_region ! print region totals ETC.... move 1 to #need_page_break end-procedure ! after_region begin-procedure after_support_team_mbr ! print support team mbr totals ETC.... move 1 to #need_page_break end-procedure ! after_support_team_mbr begin-procedure check_need_page_break if #need_page_break new-page move 0 to #need_page_break end-if end-procedure ! after_support_team_mbr Note that you need a final "check" call after the END-SELECT to be sure that the final page break is generated before the grant total page is printed. Also, you need to make sure the "check" call is invoked before anything is printed in any BEFORE procedure at any level, or things will start showing up on the wrong page. This approach works because one of the BEFORE procedures is always the first thing to execute after the last AFTER procedure executes in a particular cycle of the BREAK processing (*). We can't tell from within the AFTER if another AFTER procedure is just about to be executed, but once we start processing the BEFOREs, we know all the AFTERs have completed. If the first thing the BEFORE procedure does is check to see if the page break is needed, then the page break will always happen immediately following of the last AFTER procedure that got executed on this cycle. (*) except when the AFTER is from the last row of data -- that's why we need another "check" after the END_SELECT Hope this makes sense.... Let me know if I can explain any aspect further.

What I often do when I need a single page-break after multiple possible "after/total" breaks is to use a numeric as a logical flag and the before= option. Something like... move 0 to #need_new_page begin-select xxx &x () on-break print=never before=pre_x after=post_x level=1 yyy &y () on-break print=never before=pre_y after=post_y level=2 ... yadda yadda yadda end-select And then have sections in the before and after procs like.... begin-procedure pre_x if #need_new_page new-page move 0 to #need_new_page end-if ! Store "heading" values ........ yadda yadda yadda end-procedure begin-procedure pre_y if #need_new_page new-page move 0 to #need_new_page end-if ! Store "heading" values ........ yadda yadda yadda end-procedure begin-procedure post_y move 1 to #need_new_page ........ yadda yadda yadda end-procedure begin-procedure post_x move 1 to #need_new_page ........ yadda yadda yadda end-procedure Notice the comments about storing heading values. Because this fires off the new-page in the "before=", you need to specifically save the heading values into variables since the "save=" option will have already reset. Using this, you could have 7 different break levels, all with totals, and all the totals needed would print on the same page, then 1 single new-page would fire off, but only if there were more returns from the select.

In the interest of going with the most simple solution (all that juggling of before & after procedures does not qualify, even if it might work - LOL!), the following is how I resolved the two issues I had: Per a suggestion from Joy Hoyte, I was able to get the page break to work correctly by adding a condition checking that the team member was not equal, while the region was: if &v.region_cd = $hold_region and &m.support_team_mbr <> $hold_team_mbr new-page else position (+1) end-if Per Nathan's answer, I moved null values to my header variables just before printing the grand totals. I knew there had to be simple solutions that I just couldn't see. That's what's great about this forum - sometimes you just need another pair of eyes to take a look and see the obvious. Everything's working fine now!

First off, is it possible to toggle that cover sheet that prints on a unix printer using an sqr? Or is that strictly controlled at a hardware level? Is there some esc sequence that could turn off that sheet? Secondly, I'm trying to choose which tray to print to. First I tried using the esc sequence to choose 'legal' size in the hopes that the printer would be intelligent enough to automatically choose the correct tray. ENCODE '<27>&l3A' INTO $legal_code print $legal_code (,) code that didn't work. Secondly, I tried to designate the actual tray (3). encode '<27>&l5H' into $tray3 print $tray3 (,) code that didn't work. In either case, the printer tries to print to tray1. The user must then manually tell the printer (HP4050N) to use tray 3. (printer reports that tray 1 is empty, blinks in protest, user presses go, and printer offers option to use tray 3 instead) Does it matter where I print the encoded statement? I print it early on in my sqr (before any other print statements). (this is the PS check print program) Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Andrew From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Tue Apr 2 19:32:49 2002 Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2002 19:30:55 EST From: NEDOLPH@AOL.COM Subject: Re: sending esc codes to printer It is possible that a New Page command is outputting an escape E or printer reset at the start of each physical page. you might try forcing your select tray 3 command both before and after any new page command. (belt and suspenders) the new page or print header may be flushing your set up string. If your environment is shared, especially if the system prints a separator page between jobs, the network system may be generating the Escape E as part of the separator page sequence. I don't think you can select that tray too often. I have had the same problem with fonts set up at the top of the job being scrubbed away after the delivery of the first page hope this helps ps I assume you are printing on legal paper in tray 3 because if you are calling for a "mixed" combination where for example (in Ms word) you are calling for a 14 inch document and are sending the output to a tray holding letter size paper. the system will hang. asking you to change paper trays. maybe something like that is afoot. all best, Norman dolph From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Wed Apr 3 11:11:29 2002 Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 11:07:29 -0500 From: "Hood Louise (app1lxh)" Subject: text editor Hi everyone!

Edit Plus - www.editplus.com 2. UltraEdit - www.ultraedit.com 3. Vedit - www.vedit.com 4. kedit - www.kedit.com Editors 1-3 are "windows" style editors and can be configured to display line number/position pretty easily. Kedit is a clone of the IBM mainframe editor Xedit, which will do line numbers/column numbers very easily. My thoughts on each: - Edit Plus I use a lot. Its a good general purpose programmer's editor, but it does not do somethings (such as x'00' changes) at all or very well. - Ultra Edit is a little heavier duty than Edit Plus, I have not tested it with some of the things that Edit Plus chokes on yet. - Vedit's forte is speed on big files. This thing will edit 20M files without a quibble, plus it does binary/hex changes very easily. It saved my bacon when I was dealing with a 20M data file that had embedded x'00' characters. None of the editors I had would touch a file that big or if they would, would NOT change the x'00' out. This one did. If I purchase a product, it may be this one. Documentation on this product is A+ too. - kedit is a mainframe clone, so it deals with lines/columns very well. It also has a command line so if you're more comfortable entering a change command than clicking thru 3 dialogs, this editor works well. Highly customizable too. Its primary drawback is the file has to be in memory. It would have handled my x'00' situation, but the filesize was too big to load. And as an old mainframer, I'm probably the most at home with this editor. Hope this helps.

(and its Friday) Many of these editors everyone mentioned edit the file in memory only. And once you run out of memory, you've effectively reached the limit of the filesize you can edit. I know KEDIT is like this as was its parent Xedit. I can't tell you for sure about all the others, but some such as VEDIT do their editing based in work files, thus effectively being able to edit as much as you've got disk to play with. The SPF family of editors does this as well as VEDIT. I haven't tested enough of the others here to know for sure. I did download JEDIT...and about the only thing I'll say is the price is right. I found out that when I installed the Java runtime needed for it on my windows box, it took out most of the other Java applet functionality within IE (5.5). It also is S.L.O.W.! Maybe great for cross-platform work, but it took a while to load even a small file on my NT 4.0 system. Many other editors are far far faster.

If so, then you need to update the Database ODBC drivers on the client machine that is executing the SQR.

Hello -

I've an SQR Flags question and how it relates to Configuration Manager settings and Process Definition in PeopleSoft.

We have changed the occurances of C:\TEMP\ to another directory (C:\WINDOWS\TEMP) on the Process Scheduler of Configuration Mgr for the following items:
  (1)  Temp Directory (TEMP)
  (2)  SQR Flags (for -O and -F flags)

When we run the PO Dispatch process from PO Workbench, the .SPF file still gets written (and deleted) to C:\TEMP. 

The Process Definition Options in Process Scheduler are as follows:
A. Overrides
  (1) Parameter List     : NONE
  (2) Command Line       : NONE
  (3) Working Directory  : NONE
  (4) SQR Flags          : APPEND -PRINTER::WP
  (5) SQR Parms          : OVERRIDE  %%INSTANCE%% %%OPRID%% %%OPRID%%

B. Output Destination Parms
  (1)  Output Dest Type  : Printer
  (2)  Output Dest Source: User Specified
  (3)  Output Destination: LPT1

QUESTION:
Why does the .SPF file continue to write to C:\TEMP\ when we've defined the %TEMP% environment variable otherwise?  Is there some other way to control this directory???  NOTE: changing FILEPREFIX in SETENV.SQC had no effect.

Environment:
NT 4.0, HP 11, SQR 4.3, Oracle 8.1.6.1.0, PeopleTools 7.59, App Rel 7.53

Thanks, in advance!

Furthermore, later on in the SQR, I send esc sequences to activate the micr; the micr esc sequence works fine. Any other suggestions?

In a procedure called initiate_processing (called prior to the Main procedure), we have the following: let $drawthree = chr(27)||'&l3H' which is directing the output to tray 3. Then prior to the first actual print command, we issue: print $drawthree () rather than using the print-direct command. As someone previously mentioned, a new-page command may send an escape E (printer reset). We had that happen on one report, so we simply repeated the print $drawthree line after the new-page and it fixed the problem. hth Jon -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Lin [mailto:alin@TECHNEGLAS.COM] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2002 2:25 PM To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Subject: problems with setting which tray to print to Hi all, I've tried sending all sorts of esc sequences to tell the printer to use tray 3, but it always seems to ignore what I have in the SQR.

Hey Elvis, Thanks for the tip. For me, it turned out to be sort of a hardware issue. The printer wasn't setup right. Both of its trays were set to legal size. Consequently, the sqr would first try to print a legal cover sheet to the letter tray. This would always hold up the printer, requiring manual switching of the print job on the printer. (is there a way to have an sqr tell a printer NOT to print a cover sheet??) After I reconfigured one of the trays to letter size, the sqr would seamlessly spit the cover sheet out from the letter tray, and then the report (check) from the legal tray. (I ended up simply leaving in the command to choose legal size, regardless of tray. Like I hoped, the printer is smart enough to choose which tray based on this single command.): ENCODE '<27>&l3A' INTO $legal_code print-direct printer=hp $legal_code Hopefully, I won't run into this problem again when the other locations start running the print program. They all use different kinds of printers. (otherwise, life would simply be too easy) I'm pretty sure the esc sequences are being read in, regardless of the order I send them to the printer. I think the only way to reset the printer is to explicitly tell it to reset. For the printers I'm working with, this command would be something like <27>E. -Andrew >>> elvisdman@HOTMAIL.COM 04/04/02 05:24PM >>> Andrew, When encoding several PCL commands always make them as one contiguous command because everytime it encounter <27> that means to reset the command and you lose the previous command.

With the add-in, you get language syntax help, language hi-lite and coloring, and other coding assistance. Personally I prefer Kedit because of it's similarity to Rexx, but because of the SQR add-in and HTML coding available in MultiEdit, I have been using MultiEdit for the last 3 years.

I haven't done exactly what you are describing however. I have not gone anywhere NEAR the amount of features offered in either KEDIT or UltraEdit.

Vi for a new era! When called as gvim over X, it has an excellent GUI. Menus for when you can't remember the exact command for SQR syntax highlighting, for example. (Although, it does a good job of auto sensing the syntax, once told to do so.) It is possible to do just about anything from the keyboard (therefore faster). But, sometimes it makes more sense to use the mouse, so the graphical parts of gvim do the trick. I think vim & gvim are the best! I do all of my development with it from unix (which is where the final product runs anyhow). It's so fast & easy.

Though I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you should use "<>" as opposed to "!=" b/c the "<>" processes more efficiently. But like I said, I vaguely remember reading it (not sure where). In general, I have always tried to avoid using "not" in my comparisons. Unless, I can't, in which case, I always use "<>".

However, I had also just composed a couple of LET statements. It was late Friday and I was not paying particular attention to the line numbers. While the error did suggest it was a result of using '!=' within my conditional expression, the error was actually on the LET statement instead (no '$' on my variable).

Way to go! I personally think procedures should generally be self contained whenever possible. (Especially when they are in include files.) Now to the easy part. When you declare a procedure with parameters, the procedure is AUTOMATICALLY a local procedure, so you do not have to declare it local. Here are a couple hints regarding local procedures that you might find helpful in case you do not already know them. 1. --------------------- If you have a begin-select in a local procedure, selected column names are not seen by the rest of the program. These two procedures CANNOT coexist: begin-procedure PROC1 begin-select dummy &dummy from dual end-select end-procedure begin-procedure PROC2 begin-select dummy &dummy from dual end-select end-procedure Whereas these two procedures CAN coexist begin-procedure PROC1 local begin-select dummy &dummy from dual end-select end-procedure begin-procedure PROC2 local begin-select dummy &dummy from dual end-select end-procedure 2. --------------------- All variables in SQR are STATIC. This means that in a local procedure they retain their values from call to call. I believe in most other languages variables are initialized each time a procedure is called (and each call has its own copy of the variables). This static feature can be handy but is not intuitive to those who have programmed in other languages. It does make recursive calls tricky. 3. --------------------- If you wish to refer to a global variable from within a local procedure and you do not wish to pass that variable in as a parameter, you must place an underscore in the variable name after the type identifier, so the variable #Price becomes #_Price. This makes locating all references to a global variable interesting, since you now have to search for BOTH names. I would pass ALL variables in if possible. 4. --------------------- If you use arrays, then believe it or not, the arrays are referenced exactly the same way inside local procedures as they are outside them! Go figure!

That is my problem then. Apparently, SQR does not like the redundant use of LOCAL when it is already implied. Hmmm... how would I then declare the procedure non-local when passing parameters? In any event, thanks for the info! VERY helpful for me. I was a PowerHouse developer on the VMS side for many years and most recently (last 4 years) doing the web consultant thing in Seattle (ASP, VBScript, etc). I just started here about 12 weeks ago so am relatively new to SQR (though I am told I am learning very quickly). I definitely do the self contained thang. I think of it as supporting the long-term integrity of applications. So I am really trying to get this local procedure and parameter passing to work here (and hopefully motivate others to do the same). One additional question, can one write functions in SQR? From what I have read, the answer is no. I would like to do something like: IF NewHire(emplid) do de da de dum END-IF ...where NewHire returns true or false (similar to my VB days)? >If you have a begin-select in a local procedure, selected column names are >not seen by the rest of the program. Wow, this explains the errors I have been getting... The static variable thing is also good to know. I am particularly fond of recursion (LISP was one of my favorite languages in the 80's). >If you wish to refer to a global variable from within a local procedure and >you do not wish to pass that variable in as a parameter, you must place an >underscore in the variable name after the type identifier, so the variable >#Price becomes #_Price.

Can I assume that all arrays are globals??? Or just that globally defined arrays are accessed without the underscore? Thanks for the help Jim. This message was a gold mine for me.

I'm pretty sure there is no way to pass parameters and still have a 'public' procedure. Also, no real functions, at least not in 4.3.4. Wish there were. There are a lot of things I'd change about SQR if I could, but there are some pretty neat things in there that I like. I'm pretty sure all arrays are global. Period. I, too, did some work in LISP in the early '90s to the point where I could hardly think iteratively. I still like to 'recurse' whenever possible. You can get so much work done with so little code! If you don't have one you should consider getting a copy of 'SQR in PeopleSoft and Other Applications' by Landres and Landres published by Manning. Even if you are not doing PeopleSoft the book should be very helpful. The vast majority of it is non-PeopleSoft specific. I began the SQR phase of my career using this book and was eventually sent to an SQR class which was helpful, but the book is still within reach all the time. As you may have discovered, there is not much available in the bookstores. Greet the Space Needle for me.

I was a PowerHouse developer on the VMS side for many years and most recently (last 4 years) doing the web consultant thing in Seattle (ASP, VBScript, etc). I just started here about 12 weeks ago so am relatively new to SQR (though I am told I am learning very quickly). I definitely do the self contained thang. I think of it as supporting the long-term integrity of applications. So I am really trying to get this local procedure and parameter passing to work here (and hopefully motivate others to do the same). One additional question, can one write functions in SQR? >From what I have read, the answer is no. I would like to do something like: IF NewHire(emplid) do de da de dum END-IF ...where NewHire returns true or false (similar to my VB days)? >If you have a begin-select in a local procedure, selected column names are >not seen by the rest of the program. Wow, this explains the errors I have been getting... The static variable thing is also good to know. I am particularly fond of recursion (LISP was one of my favorite languages in the 80's). >If you wish to refer to a global variable from within a local procedure and >you do not wish to pass that variable in as a parameter, you must place an >underscore in the variable name after the type identifier, so the variable >#Price becomes #_Price. This makes locating all references to a global >variable interesting, since you now have to search for BOTH names. I would >pass ALL variables in if possible. OK. Cool. Not too hard to work around. >If you use arrays, then believe it or not, the arrays are referenced exactly >the same way inside local procedures as they are outside them! Go figure! Hmmm. Can I assume that all arrays are globals??? Or just that globally defined arrays are accessed without the underscore? Thanks for the help Jim. This message was a gold mine for me. Some of this was not well explained in the book. I am already starting to push SQR to its limits here and many of your comments here resolved some of my issues and misunderstandings with this language.

However, I completely sympathize with your plight. It seems that different graphic formats work with each output format. I've had to do a lot of experimentation at times to get things to work right (I think I finally settled on a 16 color BMP as the only thing that worked for fax output). Things you may want to play with are the size of the image (width, height), the size of the file, the number of colors, and the compression format. I've seen some JPEG files use compression schemes that can be displayed by some programs, but not by others. And just for comparison, here's the snippet of code used in our PAY003.SQR to print signatures: let $sig_file = 'd:\psoft\tools815\signatures\' || $Company || '_SIG.jpg' print-image (72,0) type = JPEG-FILE image-size = (55,8) source = $sig_file graphic (#row,1,51) horz-line 7 I'll send a JPEG file that you can test with directly to your e-mail.

Can you create a "wrapper" shell script that will work? For example, #!/bin/sh source /home/someuser/.profile /path/to/pgp -e $1 'Subject Message' Then, in your sqr you could do: let $to_run = '/path/to/script ' || $filename Of course, all this assumes SQR is calling out properly. This technique could be useful to figure that out too. You could, for example, use tee to capture PGP's output to a log. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Pelton [mailto:bpelton@COMMUNITYMEDICAL.ORG] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 7:45 PM To: SQR-USERS@list.iex.net Subject: PGP & SQR I'm trying to automate the encryption and email of a data file.

I personally do not run reports from my temp drive if I use SQRW, I run them from where ever they reside for example: My report name would be T:\hr750\sqr\webidcrt.sqr My User Name would be: jdoe My Password would be: password Database would be : HPRD If there are no problems with your SQR you should not have a problem running it. Hope this helps. Kim.

We are using HP-Laserjet HP Laser Jet 4050 Series PCL 5e. The escape sequence that needs to be printed is '<27>&l1S' and i tried to print the same through Printer-Init command in set-up section (Without the quotes) and also Declare-Printer Init-String option. The report is printing but not on both sides of page. Printer is supporting this feature , as i tried printing through Word and it works. I know i am missing somewhere but not able to make out. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Prasad Meka __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

(For a "complete" discussion on this topic, you can go to http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users and search for "SQR going away in PeopleSoft 8". It's a long thread, but it pretty much covers the issue...) Notice that PeopleSoft SQR's version id string clearly says so; compare SQR for PeopleSoft/8.14/IBM RS6000/AIX 4.3.3/Oracle 8.0.6/Apr 27 2001 to SQR/6.2/Intel/Red Hat Linux 6.1(2.2.12-20)/Oracle 8.1.7/Oct 29 2001 Brio will be releasing it's own SQR v8 later this year, so it's very important for people to be sure to mention the full version id string when talking about SQR now that there are two SQR code lines... (See http://www.sqrug.com/sqr-users/sqr-users-hints.html#s4 for additional info on that topic.) > the Tools release. As I understand it, PeopleSoft SQR 8.16 is SQR version > 6. Possibly, someone on the list can confirm? Yes, I believe the source code that PeopleSoft recieve was the source for something between Brio's versions 6.1.4 and 6.2. In other words, SQR for PeopleSoft v8.1x is essentially Brio's SQR 6.1.4 with many of the bug fixes that appear in Brio's 6.2 (but not necessarily all of them), as well as possibly some of PeopleSoft's own bug fixes. (I have no idea what changes -- if any -- PeopleSoft has made since they "took control" of their copy of SQR.)

You can drill down to them by looking at stdapi.sqc. The first step actually occurs at the call to stdapi-init, where the variable #prcs_run_status is set to a numeric value that represents "Processing" and the database is updated. After that, #prcs_run_status is set to the value representing "Successful". However the database is not updated again until stdapi-term has been called. Therefore if you need to change the status to another value such as "Error" or "Unsuccessful" you can do so at any time between stdapi-init and stdapi-term. If something is causing the status to go to "Success" before the program is done, then either there is some code executing between your call to stdapi-term and the end of the program, or something else is happening to call the procedure that updates the process scheduler status.

This is a client-side module for windows applications that allows you to launch sqr programs on a server and view the results on the desktop. Although I've developed applications that used SQR directly from within SQL*Forms (sharing the same database connection between SQR and SQL*Forms), I've never used Activator with Forms 6i. Another approach that you might consider is running SQR on the client in much the same way that you were running it under SQL*Forms. You should still be able to call SQR from a Forms 6i user-exit under windows, but you'll have to install SQR on each desktop. Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: ODBC not connecting to Sybase database specified Dan, I experienced the same problem. Report Builder for Sybase uses the ODBC connection when you are developing the report. But when you "Process" the report the Sybase Open Client drivers are used. If you go the Edit->Preferences window, you can see the actual command line that is issued to SQRW to run the report. You will notice that the server name, userid, and password are included. Unfortunately, you cannot edit this command line directly. The runtime parameter -db can be used to tell SQRW the database name. I have tested this by executing a report using SQRW from DOS and it works. I have been told that you can specify add ional runtime parameters by entering them in the "Run Parameters" section on the Preferences window, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. It's a good idea to check out all the options in the Preferences window. Feel free to call me if you'd like more information. For now, I have asked our DBA to create a userid that defaults to the correct database.

Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------_=_NextPart_000_01C1EA3D.15B62DD0 Content-Type: text/plain I have created a utility for Brio Support that allows the use of quality raster images inside of SQR lis files. It basically involves creating a "PCL" image on a Windows box by using the PCL print driver. You can then transfer your "PCL" image that you created on Windows to your Unix box or leave it on Windows if using sqrw.exe. You modify your SQR code as documented in the included readme.txt file. Run SQR and generate a PCL lis file. Then run the enclosed pcl utility on the lis file to merge the "PCL" file into the lis file. This method works fairly well even though it is a little bit of a kludge to setup. But this process also takes advantage of PCL macros to reduce file size. In this zip file there is the C source code that works for most Unixes and Windows. It is a single C file so it is easy to compile with just "cc -o pcl pcl.c" on most Unixes and "cl.exe /DWINDOWS pcl.c" on Windows.

-0400 From: Dietrich Schmitz Subject: SQR and Courier New Fixed Font Code Example Hello Fellow SQR Enthusiasts: Using Courier New 'fixed' font has made life easier for me because printing becomes a matter of deciding which 'column' to pass in your print statement vs. doing the math to compute 'offsets' across a page with 'proportional' space fonts based on points. Ray Ontko (aka and hereinafter referred to as 'Mr. SQR') was good enough to supply a short code snippet for which I am appreciative. So, in the spirit of 'sharing the knowledge', I am forwarding it to you as it helped me in why I couldn't escape into 17 pitch. If your organization doesn't have a policy on which fonts you must use, then PLEASE, spare yourselves. Avoid the tedium/agony of messing with proportional space fonts 'like the proverbial plague' and use 'Courier New'. Somewhere in the archives there is mention that a formula applies: 120/Pitch = Point Size. This does not appear to be the case where 17 pitch is concerned, as per the code example sent to me by Mr. SQR. (Perhaps Mr. SQR will elaborate on the relationship between the Declare-Layout and Alter-Printer statments as they need to tie out.) Mr. SQR's code snippet: [SQR codes begins here] #define pitch_17 begin-setup declare-layout default #ifdef pitch_10 ! 10 pitch line-height = 12 pt char-width = 7.2 pt #end-if #ifdef pitch_12 ! 12 pitch line-height = 10 pt char-width = 6 pt #end-if #ifdef pitch_13 ! 13.[3...] pitch line-height = 9 pt char-width = 5.4 pt #end-if #ifdef pitch_15 ! 15 pitch line-height = 8 pt char-width = 4.8 pt #end-if #ifdef pitch_17 ! 17.[142857...] pitch line-height = 7 pt char-width = 4.2 pt #end-if end-declare end-setup begin-program do main end-program begin-procedure main #ifdef pitch_10 alter-printer font=3 poit-size=12 pitch=10 print '10 pitch' (1,1) #end-if #ifdef pitch_12 alter-printer font=3 point-size=10 pitch=12 print '12 pitch' (1,1) #end-if #ifdef pitch_13 alter-printer font=3 point-size=9 pitch=13.333333 print '13 pitch' (1,1) #end-if #ifdef pitch_15 alter-printer font=3 point-size=8 pitch=15 print '15 pitch' (1,1) #end-if #ifdef pitch_17 alter-printer font=3 point-size=7 pitch=17.142857 print '17 pitch' (1,1) #end-if next-listing skiplines=1 print 'Hello. ' (1,1) print 'I love you.' () print 'Won''t you tell me ' (2,1) print 'your name?' () end-procedure [SQR codes ends here] Apparently, Mr. SQR is a 'Doors' fan. Anywho..., I hope this/his example helps everyone out who may have wanted to use 'Courier New', but thought they couldn't. Regards to everyone and thanks again to Mr. SQR Dietrich From owner-sqr-users@list.iex.net Sat Apr 20 15:44:23 2002 Date: Sat, 20 Apr 2002 15:40:03 -0500 From: Ray Ontko Subject: Re: SQR and Courier New Fixed Font Code Example Dietrich, SQR enthusiasts, Thanks for the kind words and for posting your solution for the benefit of others. To this I add an explanation about the calculations. How I calculate pitch, point-size, line-height, and char-width for Courier fonts: Courier font characters have an "aspect ratio" of 3:5 = 0.6. This is the ratio of the width to the height of the character cell. "pitch" is the number of character cells per inch, horizontally. "font-size" is the height of each character cell. There are 72 points per inch. The abbreviation for "point" is "pt". So, if I want 10 courier characters per inch (10 pitch), then each character cell is 72/10 = 7.2 pt wide. If I divide this width by the aspect ratio, I get 7.2/0.6 = 12 pt tall. Thus, Courier 12 (font-size=12) is a 10-pitch font with a char-width of 7.2 pt (1/10 inch) and a line-height of 12 pt (1/6 inch). If I want approximately 17 characters per inch, I notice that 72 / 17 / 0.6 is approximately 7 pt. So I work from 7pt as the font-size. I _multiply_ the font-size by the aspect ratio to get the width: 7 * 0.6 = 4.2 pt. To calculate the pitch, I divide 72 / 4.2 = 17.142853... charcters per inch.

This means that the printer you're talking to should have the font installed or available. If this works, you shouldn't need ghostscript. If you use this approach, you should also be able to use the font in -printer:ps output. You might have to add an entry in the [Fonts] section of the SQR.INI. In either case, you shouldn't need to use PRINT-DIRECT or CODE-PRINTER.

Kindest Regards, Dietrich T. Schmitz Customer Support Rep. IMT UMAS Upstate Medical University (315) 464-8897 schmitzd@upstate.edu >>> rayo@ONTKO.COM 04/20/02 04:40PM >>> Dietrich, SQR enthusiasts, Thanks for the kind words and for posting your solution for the benefit of others. To this I add an explanation about the calculations. How I calculate pitch, point-size, line-height, and char-width for Courier fonts: Courier font characters have an "aspect ratio" of 3:5 = 0.6. This is the ratio of the width to the height of the character cell. "pitch" is the number of character cells per inch, horizontally. "font-size" is the height of each character cell. There are 72 points per inch. The abbreviation for "point" is "pt". So, if I want 10 courier characters per inch (10 pitch), then each character cell is 72/10 = 7.2 pt wide. If I divide this width by the aspect ratio, I get 7.2/0.6 = 12 pt tall. Thus, Courier 12 (font-size=12) is a 10-pitch font with a char-width of 7.2 pt (1/10 inch) and a line-height of 12 pt (1/6 inch). If I want approximately 17 characters per inch, I notice that 72 / 17 / 0.6 is approximately 7 pt. So I work from 7pt as the font-size. I _multiply_ the font-size by the aspect ratio to get the width: 7 * 0.6 = 4.2 pt. To calculate the pitch, I divide 72 / 4.2 = 17.142853... charcters per inch.

Another aspect to consider is how do you define those that were terminated then rehired with different pay scale?
