Changes Since Previous Version Changes since the version dated 2003/11/01: o Update subscribe/unsubscribe instructions for new version of list server software. o New URL for "brio-l" mailing 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 Hyperion (and to other products in the SQR product suite). Note: SQR used to be published by SQRIBE Technologies, which was merged into Brio Technology on August 3, 1999. Brio Technology changed its name to Brio Software in October 2001. On October 16, 2003, Hyperion acquired Brio Software. SQR and related applications have also been called "Brio.Report" and "Brio Reports". 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.org/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) 1999-2004 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.

To join, follow the link above, or send any message to "briolist- subscribe@yahoogroups.com". 3. Interacting with the list server The sqr-users mailing list is hosted using the Mailman list server package. All of the Mailman functions described below are accessed from the sqr-users List Info page, "http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users". 3.1. Subscribing to the list To subscribe to the mailing list, enter your e-mail address in the box at the top of the "Subscribing to sqr-users" section on the sqr-users List Info page, then choose a password to assign to your subscription and enter it in both "Password" boxes. This password is used to allow you to securely make changes to your subscription over the web. This password will be e-mailed back to you at varous times, so you should not use the same password as you are using elsewhere. Once you have filled in the password, click the "Subscribe" button. You should soon receive an e-mail message from the list server requesting confirmation of your subscription request. Once you have replied to this message and your subscription has been processed, you will receive a "welcome" message giving you more information on the list server, and as well as a reminder of the subscription password you chose. 3.2. Unsubscribing from the list To unsubscribe from the list, go to the sqr-users List Info page, enter your e-mail address in the "sqr-users Subscribers" section near the bottom of the page, and click the "Unsubscribe or edit options" button. You will then see the "member options" page; fill in your password at the top of the page and click "Log in". (If you have forgotton your password, see the ``Obtaining your Password'' section, below). This will take you to the "membership configuration" page. In the middle of that page, there will be an "Unsubscribing from sqr- users" section; simply turn on the "Yes, I really want to unsubscribe" checkbox and click the "Unsubscribe" button. You should get a page back saying that the removal was successful (as well as a confirmation email message). The removal will take effect immediately; there is no need to send in a confirmation e-mail message. If you don't know your password, you can choose to unsubscribe using e-mail confirmation. Instead of entering the password on the "member options" page, just click the "Unsubscribe" button found just below the "Log In" button. You will then see a page noting that a confirmation e-mail has been sent; once you follow the confirmation instructions in that e-mail your removal will be complete. 3.3. When your email address changes If your e-mail address changes -- for example, if your company changes names, or if your mail administrator changes the way your name is spelled out or abbreviated -- you will need to update your subscription to match your new address before you can post to the list (see the ``Posting'' section, below). To do this, simply log in to your "membership configuration" page (see the directions for logging in to this page in the ``Unsubscribing'' section, above). At the top of that page you'll see a "Changing your membership information" section. Fill out the text boxes and click the "Change My Address and Name" button. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail, and once you have responded to that e-mail your subscription will be updated and you can begin posting from your new address. 3.4. Digests You can request to get your messages in digest form (one large message containing all of the posts made each day). To do this, log in to your "membership configuration" page (see the directions on doing this in the ``Unsubscribing'' section, above). At the bottom of the page, you will see a section titled "Your sqr-users Subscription Options". Change the "Set Digest Mode" option (the second option in the list) to "On" and click the "Submit My Changes" button at the bottom of the page. You actually have a choice of two different digest formats, "MIME" or "Plain Text". The MIME format sends each individual list message as a separate MIME attachment to the digest; the plain text format consists of one large text message, with all of the individual messages run together. Which format you will want to use depends on your mail- reading software (and personal preference). If you are not sure which format will work best, you can just leave the default setting of "MIME" and see if the next morning's digest is easy to read in your mail reader -- you can change to the other format at any time using that same web page. 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. To restore normal distribution, simply follow the above instructions choosing the "Off" setting for the Digest option. 3.5. Obtaining your password You will not be able to change your subscription options without your password. If you have forgotten your password, simply click the "Email My Password to Me" button on the "member options" page and your password will be emailed to you. You will also be e-mailed a copy of your password at the beginning of each month, as part of a "mailing list memberships reminder" message from the Mailman software. 3.6. Problems If the above instructions do not work, please contact the list manager at "sqr-users-manager@sqrug.org". (Do not send a message to the list itself -- no one there can help you with your problem!) Please include a description of what you were trying to do and what exactly happened when you made the attempt. 4. Posting to the sqr-users List In order to post to the mailing list, you must be subscribed to it (see directions above). More specifically, in order for Mailman to recognize that this message was sent by a subscriber, the return address on your message much exactly match the addresss you used to subscribe -- if you have more than one address you will need to be sure that you are sending from the correct one. (See the ``When you email address changes'' section, above, if your e-mail address has changed since you subscribed.) 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 as other subscribers' mail systems repond....) 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.) The list server will delete these special attachments from your message and send you a warning notice. Also, if you are trying to send (for example) SQR source code files, make sure your mail-reader software is assigning proper MIME types to your attachments or they may not be distributed. 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. o ignore abusive and inappropriate messages that get sent to the list, rather than getting drawn into a debate. The very nature of these messages will cause most subscribers to automatically discredit them -- no "response" is necessary. To the contrary, any response will only "add fuel to the fire," prolonging the controversy and further interupting the normal conversation on the list. 4.2. Posting a Message Once you are subscribed, you can post to the list by sending a message to "sqr-users@sqrug.org". 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 SQR product name and version number (see notes below) o Operating system name 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. (For PeopleSoft- specific questions, see other lists mentioned in the ``Related Mailing Lists'' section.) In 2001, PeopleSoft purchased from Brio the rights to the source code for SQR and began releasing its own line of SQR. PeopleSoft's SQR version numbering is different from Brio/Hyperion's, so it's very important to mention whether you are using Hyperion's "SQR" or "SQR for PeopleSoft". (This info is included automatically if you include the full SQR version-id string as described below.) To get the version-id string for your copy 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 and database version numbers listed here are the ones under which this copy of SQR was compiled, so you'll still need to include this information for your own environment. In a command-line environment (Unix, etc.), you can also get this version-id string by saying sqr -id 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.) 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. _______________________________________________ sqr-users mailing list sqr-users@sqrug.org http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users From sqr-users-bounces+sqrusersarch=sqrug.org@sqrug.org Sat Jan 01 15:21:38 2005 From: "Manuel Basil Arakkal" Subject: RE: [sqr-users] In DB2 $sql-error not displaying the complete error message Date: Sat, 01 Jan 2005 12:19:53 -0800 I had basically added the code with an error in it in my email to display the fact that $sql-error does not give the full description when an error is encountered. You have said that the error message gives enough information. However the error message with the full information was obtained without using the $sql-error. If we use the $sql-error then the error message is not displayed fully and that is my problem. We would like to have $sql-error display the full error message so that we could take action based on the error message. We could use on-error to get information on which row is being processed by the SQR. However since $sql-error does not display the full error in DB2 this is not possible. There should be no problem with using &variables within the SQL statement. These variables are used to pick up values from other SQL statements in the same SQL without assigning them to $variables. There should also be no problem in indenting FROM and WHERE clauses.

The error you get gives you enough information, you just have to read it. It says it found a '[' and the SQR doesn't know what the heck that is. So, you cant have the bracket in there...and, like the SQR, i'm not sure what that is either. It looks like you're trying to check a value, but dont know if it will exists. And if it does not exist, you want to stick the variable in there. Since I dont know DB2, i dont know what the fix is on that. In Oracle you can say select nvl(col1, $var1) ! <-- nvl - if no value (null value) of col1 then use $var1 from table where [$where_clause] -------------the problem of your SQL #ifdef MVS ,\$Incr_Effdt\ ,\#Job_Insert_Effseq\ #else ,[$Incr_Effdt] ,[#Job_Insert_Effseq] #end-if -------------- Another problem in your SQR is at the bottom. Recently someone reread the rules on indentation, and I've already forgotten them, BUT, i'm gonna go ahead and say that you shouldn't have indented the 'FROM' and 'WHERE'. I know its okay to indent the 'AND's (possibly the where too). It maybe be personal preference, but I like to keep my entire SQL statement flush to the left margin...it makes for more easily readable SQR (in my opinion). But the serious problem at the bottom are the &variables you're trying to match against...You cant match against &variables in a SQL clause...you need to have set them up as $variables. (let $var1 = &var1, etc). If you're trying to match them up as a 2 table where clause thing, then include both tables in the FROM, and match them up in the WHERE. Once you figure out that # \\ [] problem up top, unindent your FROM/WHEREs, and set up the variables as $variables, your SQR should work a lot better. You dont necesarily need to get a better error message, you just need to understand the one you got a bit better. When it says 'An unexpected token "[" was found following "" ' and you've got a [ character sitting in your SQL, that should be a clue that it doesn't like that. Also when it says 'SQL: ...WHERE EMPLID = ? AND EMPL_RCD = ? AND EFFDT = ? AND EFFSEQ = ?' you might realize that it couldn't figure out what those &variable were supposed to be. -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org]On Behalf Of Manuel Basil Arakkal Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 5:35 PM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: [sqr-users] In DB2 $sql-error not displaying the complete error message We have this code in our program: Begin-Sql ON-ERROR=KP-SQL-ERROR('PS_JOB_EARNS_DIST - INSERT ',&JOB.EMPLID, #sql-status, $sql-error) INSERT INTO PS_JOB_EARNS_DIST SELECT EMPLID ,EMPL_RCD #ifdef MVS ,\$Incr_Effdt\ ,\#Job_Insert_Effseq\ #else ,[$Incr_Effdt] ,[#Job_Insert_Effseq] #end-if ,DEPTID ,JOBCODE ,POSITION_NBR ,GL_PAY_TYPE ,ACCT_CD ,SHIFT ,LOCATION ,ERNCD ,COMPRATE ,DIST_PCT ,STD_HOURS ,BUSINESS_UNIT FROM PS_JOB_EARNS_DIST WHERE EMPLID = &JOBI.EMPLID AND EMPL_RCD = &JOBI.EMPL_RCD AND EFFDT = &JOBI.EFFDT AND EFFSEQ = &JOBI.EFFSEQ End-Sql Begin-Procedure KP-SQL-ERROR($Table_Name, $Emplid, #sql-status, $sql-error) Let $sql-status = #sql-status Let $error_message = 'FATAL SQL ERROR.

The FIRST error is that the SQL won't compile: (SQR 5528) DB2 SQL PREPARE/DECLARE error -104 in cursor 37: SQL0104N An unexpected token "[" was found following "". Expected tokens may include: "( + - ? : CASE CAST USER CURRENT ". SQLSTATE=42601 The SECOND error is that the SQL can't run (because it is not prepared) (SQR 5528) DB2 SQL OPEN/EXECUTE error -518 in cursor 37: SQL0518N The statement named in the EXECUTE statement is not in a prepared state or is a SELECT or VALUES statement. SQLSTATE=07003 The $sql-error does contain that whole message (although I don't know why it seems to cut off the "t" in "statement". Because there are two errors, the $sql-error from the first error gets overwritten by the 2nd error before SQR gets a chance to report the error. This is normal behaviour for SQR. $sql-error only ever contains the most recent error message. Can you trap the first (prepare) error? I doubt it. If you want to see the full error messages you could use the -s flag which sends to sql to the .err file for later analysis. Note that for runtime error checking I think you are better off using #sql-status, as the messages themselves can contain a lot of variable text which is hard to check for. In your case error -518 indicates the sql could not be compiled. This is not really a "runtime" error as the "[" in your sql will never compile. But you can still print out the values of all the variables yourself to determine what is wrong with the SQL, and keep processing further records. Regarding your actual SQL, I assume that $Incr_Effdt and #Job_Insert_Effseq are hardcoded values you want to use in your select. In which case you should be able to just use the variable names without the [] brackets. The [] syntax only applies in begin-select. And you are right the &variable are fine and the from, where formatting is all irrelevant in a begin-sql block, the special sql formatting rules only apply in BEGIN-SELECT. Cheers, Steve. -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+steve.cavill=infoclarity.com.au@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+steve.cavill=infoclarity.com.au@sqrug.org] On Behalf Of Manuel Basil Arakkal Sent: Sunday, 2 January 2005 7:20 AM To: bstone@fastenal.com Cc: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: RE: [sqr-users] In DB2 $sql-error not displaying the complete errormessage I had basically added the code with an error in it in my email to display the fact that $sql-error does not give the full description when an error is encountered.

And if it was signed it would be somewhere between (2,147,483,647, -2,147,483,647) including both a positive and negative 0 (which is just silly). So if you're saying you have a number larger than that which you are trying to print, then you need to use an 8byte number. Dont confusing the number of DIGITS with the number of BYTES...bytes holds lots of digits. My guess is that you have some sort of syntax wrong where YOU think that you're helping it by telling it it's six digits, when in fact you're telling it that it should be 6 bytes. If you want it to print 6 digits every time use an edit mask (like printing the number 123 would be 000123 using 'print #var (+1,1) edit 099999'). Otherwise just print normally. -----Original Message----- I'll go with 4,294,967,295 ... Lance D.

Unix is more secure, faster and more stabile than Windoze products. However, you should, depending on your volume and load, get another Unix server/lpar for your batch processes.

At present I am trying to use MapNetworkDrive Function present in NetworkDr= iveMapping DLL File. Once the mapping is successful, I think I might be abl= e to use FindFiles...

I'll assume that you'll be pulling the COBOL files across via a BINARY FTP so the COMP-3 doesn't get pooched when translated. You really don't want to try to read this file directly from SQR. That COMP-3 field has to come across as a binary and will likely contain the binary zero. SQR doesn't handle those well, basically treating them as end-of-line characters and truncating the record. I suggest that you look into something called SQL*Loader which is an data loading utility provided by Oracle (with the install). You would use SQL*Loader to load the data into an Oracle table and then query that from your SQR program. Your Oracle DBA will be able to help set up the control file for SQL*Loader.

Just read and write numbers as normal strings and convert them to/from numbers as needed using normal SQR functions such as EDIT() and TO_NUMBER(), as Steve suggested. If you really, really need to read or write "mainframe" files directly, there are a few things to keep in mind. As Jeff pointed out, you must FTP the input file without using the ASCII/CRLF options, which translate the data from EBCDIC to ASCII but will destroy any COMP or COMP-3 data. You need an exact copy of the file without translation. However, that still leaves you with two problems. First, all text fields will still be in EBCDIC (assuming the file is from an EBCDIC-based mainframe) and your SQR program must translate them to ASCII. That's not too difficult. The second problem has to do with the binary COMP and packed COMP-3 fields. Again, as Jeff mentioned, these will contain binary zero bytes and therefore cannot be read by SQR as strings. The secret to dealing with these is to read the file, one character at a time, reading each character into a numeric #variable. (Go back and reread the first sentence of this email before continuing.) Open the file as RECORD=1:FIXED-NOLF . Then READ 1 INTO #CHAR:1 to get each character, which could be a 0 or any other number. If it's a binary field you are handling, do the math to get the value of the entire field. If it's packed (COMP-3) or zoned (PIC S999 DISPLAY), you need to pay special attention to the last byte, which encodes the sign. When I worked at PeopleSoft I created an SQC containing procedures for reading and writing binary, packed, zoned and EBCDIC text fields, but it's probably lost by now. I just checked Tony DeLia's site and there are links to something similar, but the links seem to be broken. (Anybody know what happened to him?) It isn't too difficult to do, IF you have a good understanding of these formats on the mainframe and use the one-character numeric variable trick. Sorry about this. If Jeff's idea about loading the data into a table works for you, that's far better than trying to code this!

I recently tried to, and couldn't figure out how, what, or where they were being set. What we did was create the formatted excel file just the way we wanted and looked at it as text. Then when we create the csv file from SQR we recreate that text formatting, and the output opens in Excel. However, when we made changes of headings, paper view, paper size, force to fit one page, etc the csv text version of the file was the exact same as before the change. We couldn't recreate those settings. I'm not sure what excel does with those settings or where they are. I think the problem is that the excel spreadsheet we can actually recreate is a simple version in excel. And all those other settings are more complicated properties that only show up in the more complex files handled by excel (such as excel v.2000, excel v.XP, etc). Once the file is opened you can set the settings because it will open the simple file in a complex file format. I could be slightly off-base here, but I think it cannot currently be done in the SQR itself. Our solution was that if a user wanted to actually print the report out, they would need to mess with some of those settings themselves. If it's a big deal, you might make up a document suggesting all the settings they'd need to tinker with to get the report to print out well. We think that most of our users will just view the electronic copy of those reports, so it's not a big deal. -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org]On Behalf Of Ilko, Holli Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 10:48 AM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: [sqr-users] Controlling Printing Properties in Excel Hello.

This lets you print a "place-holder" for the "of n" part of your report. When you have printed the last page of the statement you use the set-delay-print command to go back and fill in the page count on the pages you have already printed.

I tried using NEW_PAGE, but Iam getting both the HEADINGS. Could any one give any suggestions regarding this. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ sqr-users mailing list sqr-users@sqrug.org http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users From sqr-users-bounces+sqrusersarch=sqrug.org@sqrug.org Wed Jan 19 12:16:47 2005 From: Jeff.Steinfeldt@wellsfargo.com Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 11:13:08 -0600 Subject: [sqr-users] Changing line colors in line charts Can anyone tell me how to change the colors of the lines in a line chart in SQR? My chart has three lines and they are printing in blue, red, and yellow. Would like to make the yellow one green. I've got NewGraphics=TRUE in the SQR.INI file. I created a color palette: Create-Color-Palette Name = 'ChartPalette01' Color_1 = (255, 051, 051) ! Mid Red Color_2 = (102, 051, 255) ! Warm Blue Color_3 = (051, 255, 102) ! Cool Green Color_4 = (255, 204, 051) ! Warm Yellow Color_5 = (255, 051, 102) ! Cool Red And then referenced the palette in the Print-Chart: Print-Chart LineChart1 (000, 000) Color-Palette = 'ChartPalette01' TITLE = $formatTitle Data-Array-Row-Count = #Record_Count Data-Array-Column-Count = #Record_Count Data-Array-Column-Labels = ('[SIZE=12]Partner Transactions', '[SIZE=12]Partner Applications', '[SIZE=12]Partner Fundings') Data-Array = chartData Y-Axis-Label = 'Total Transactions' X-Axis-Label = 'Month' I receive no errors or warnings, it just ignores the new colors. Am running 8.1 under Windows XP Professional and connecting to SQL Server database.

I am trying to run an SQR on Windows NT Process Scheduler in PeopleSoft Financials 8.8 (which runs on an Oracle 9i database) Please refer to the SQR attached to this case as you read this. I have an SQR Process, VZINTFAC, that performs a simple query and writes the query results in an output file that the process itself creates in a specified directory. The SQR Process runs on the NT Process Scheduler and the output directory is specified within the SQR. The SQR Process must run on the Windows NT Process Scheduler because of its association with other processes. The Query involves obtaining information from Payment and Voucher tables based on a date range (from a certain date to a certain date). These date parameters are entered in a Run Control Page, and are stored in a Run Control Record, VZ_FACSRUN_TBL. My QAA environment is an exact copy of Production. QAA is refreshed every night with Production. This process executes flawlessly in QAA and successfully generates an output file with results from the embedded SQL query. In Production, on the other hand, the Run Status stays "Processing" forever. The parameters are accurately passed to the SQR as shown in the results of the Trace File of a Production run below: ***** Starting Init-Report ***** Starting Get-Values TR96854 FACS1 12012004 12312004 ***** Ending Get-Values ***** Ending Init-Report ***** Starting Get-Values TR96854 FACS1 12012004 12312004 ***** Ending Get-Values ***** Starting Open-files ***** Ending Open-files ***** Starting Get-And-Report 2004-12-01 2004-12-31 The Trace output file also contains comments I placed with "Display" that indicate when a Procedure within an SQR starts and ends. As you can see from the Trace File Output, Procedure Get-And-Report is started but does not end. This is the procedure where the embedded SQL is executed. The procedure Open-files works fine, since a file is created. Nothing is written to the file in PRD, since the SQR Process hangs at the Get-And-Report Procedure. What is very particular is that in PRD, the SQR Process finishes successfully when the date parameters are hard coded. The SQL within the SQR also runs well when executed in a SQL client usch as Toad or Benthic. I made sure that all tables accessed by the SQL in this SQR process were properly tuned. I also performed the following tests on the SQL within the SQR process in Production (please refer to SQL in SQR Process within Get-And-Report Procedure): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM PS_PAYMENT_TBL A, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF B, PS_VOUCHER C WHERE A.REMIT_VENDOR = 'O11' AND A.FORM_NBR_CONFIRMED = 'Y' AND A.PYMNT_METHOD = 'CHK' AND A.PYMNT_STATUS <> 'X' AND A.PYMNT_DT >= to_date($FromDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AND A.PYMNT_DT <= to_date($ToDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AND A.PYMNT_ID = B.PYMNT_ID AND B.VOUCHER_ID = C.VOUCHER_ID Results: 1.

Have you asked a Peopletools discussion group for help? -----Original Message----- From: rrodri21@prtcmail.prtc.net [mailto:rrodri21@prtcmail.prtc.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 1:46 PM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: [sqr-users] help with PeopleSoft SQR containg SQL w. two dynamicdate parameters My apologies for posting this message numerous times. I am trying to run an SQR on Windows NT Process Scheduler in PeopleSoft Financials 8.8 (which runs on an Oracle 9i database) Please refer to the SQR source pasted below as you read this. I have an SQR Process, VZINTFAC, that performs a simple query and writes the query results in an output file that the process itself creates in a specified directory. The SQR Process runs on the NT Process Scheduler and the output directory is specified within the SQR. The SQR Process must run on the Windows NT Process Scheduler because of its association with other processes. The Query involves obtaining information from Payment and Voucher tables based on a date range (from a certain date to a certain date). These date parameters are entered in a Run Control Page, and are stored in a Run Control Record, VZ_FACSRUN_TBL. My QAA environment is an exact copy of Production. QAA is refreshed every night with Production. This process executes flawlessly in QAA and successfully generates an output file with results from the embedded SQL query. In Production, on the other hand, the Run Status stays "Processing" forever. The parameters are accurately passed to the SQR as shown in the results of the Trace File of a Production run below: ***** Starting Init-Report ***** Starting Get-Values TR96854 FACS1 12012004 12312004 ***** Ending Get-Values ***** Ending Init-Report ***** Starting Get-Values TR96854 FACS1 12012004 12312004 ***** Ending Get-Values ***** Starting Open-files ***** Ending Open-files ***** Starting Get-And-Report 2004-12-01 2004-12-31 The Trace output file also contains comments I placed with "Display" that indicate when a Procedure within an SQR starts and ends. As you can see from the Trace File Output, Procedure Get-And-Report is started but does not end. This is the procedure where the embedded SQL is executed. The procedure Open-files works fine, since a file is created. Nothing is written to the file in PRD, since the SQR Process hangs at the Get-And-Report Procedure. What is very particular is that in PRD, the SQR Process finishes successfully when the date parameters are hard coded. The SQL within the SQR also runs well when executed in a SQL client usch as Toad or Benthic. I made sure that all tables accessed by the SQL in this SQR process were properly tuned. I also performed the following tests on the SQL within the SQR process in Production (please refer to SQL in SQR Process within Get-And-Report Procedure): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM PS_PAYMENT_TBL A, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF B, PS_VOUCHER C WHERE A.REMIT_VENDOR = 'O11' AND A.FORM_NBR_CONFIRMED = 'Y' AND A.PYMNT_METHOD = 'CHK' AND A.PYMNT_STATUS <> 'X' AND A.PYMNT_DT >= to_date($FromDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AND A.PYMNT_DT <= to_date($ToDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AND A.PYMNT_ID = B.PYMNT_ID AND B.VOUCHER_ID = C.VOUCHER_ID Results: 1.

But we launch it in the UNIX environment with the following command: system("sqr e400301r {Userid/Passwd} $P1 $P2 $P3 $P4 $P5 -Me400301r.txt -PRINTER:PS -ZIF$SQRINI -F$Cdssqrout -E$Cdssqrerr"); I could see that we have also used the parameter -PRINTER with :PS (for post script which I understand now). Do you think if I just change this :PS with :PD I will get a PDF output instead? Or do I think I need to make some more changes to this command for me to have the PDF output. Please note that $P5 (the fifth parameter being passed to the program) contains the printer que to which the output gets printed. Thanks Jags.

I am trying to run an SQR on Windows NT Process Scheduler in PeopleSoft Financials 8.8 (which runs on an Oracle 9i database) Please refer to the SQR source pasted below as you read this. I have an SQR Process, VZINTFAC, that performs a simple query and writes the query results in an output file that the process itself creates in a specified directory. The SQR Process runs on the NT Process Scheduler and the output directory is specified within the SQR. The SQR Process must run on the Windows NT Process Scheduler because of its association with other processes. The Query involves obtaining information from Payment and Voucher tables based on a date range (from a certain date to a certain date). These date parameters are entered in a Run Control Page, and are stored in a Run Control Record, VZ_FACSRUN_TBL. My QAA environment is an exact copy of Production. QAA is refreshed every night with Production. This process executes flawlessly in QAA and successfully generates an output file with results from the embedded SQL query. In Production, on the other hand, the Run Status stays "Processing" forever. The parameters are accurately passed to the SQR as shown in the results of the Trace File of a Production run below: ***** Starting Init-Report ***** Starting Get-Values TR96854 FACS1 12012004 12312004 ***** Ending Get-Values ***** Ending Init-Report ***** Starting Get-Values TR96854 FACS1 12012004 12312004 ***** Ending Get-Values ***** Starting Open-files ***** Ending Open-files ***** Starting Get-And-Report 2004-12-01 2004-12-31 The Trace output file also contains comments I placed with "Display" that indicate when a Procedure within an SQR starts and ends. As you can see from the Trace File Output, Procedure Get-And-Report is started but does not end. This is the procedure where the embedded SQL is executed. The procedure Open-files works fine, since a file is created. Nothing is written to the file in PRD, since the SQR Process hangs at the Get-And-Report Procedure. What is very particular is that in PRD, the SQR Process finishes successfully when the date parameters are hard coded. The SQL within the SQR also runs well when executed in a SQL client usch as Toad or Benthic. I made sure that all tables accessed by the SQL in this SQR process were properly tuned. I also performed the following tests on the SQL within the SQR process in Production (please refer to SQL in SQR Process within Get-And-Report Procedure): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM PS_PAYMENT_TBL A, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF B, PS_VOUCHER C WHERE A.REMIT_VENDOR = 'O11' AND A.FORM_NBR_CONFIRMED = 'Y' AND A.PYMNT_METHOD = 'CHK' AND A.PYMNT_STATUS <> 'X' AND A.PYMNT_DT >= to_date($FromDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AND A.PYMNT_DT <= to_date($ToDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AND A.PYMNT_ID = B.PYMNT_ID AND B.VOUCHER_ID = C.VOUCHER_ID Results: 1.

The SQR process is generating a batch of statements, all of which are processed and output to the same .lis file to make printing the batch easier (i.e new-page forced between statements and #page-count reset). The problem is that I have no easy way of determining how many pages are going to be printed per statement within the batch. Using Last-Page and manipulating #page-count as shown in the following code, does not provide a solution: =20 begin-heading 1 page-number (1,1) 'Page ' last-page () ' of ' '.' end-heading =20 begin-program print 'Header should read: Page 1 of 2.'

If you have n statements in the batch, then all statement headers will have the total number of pages determined by the last statement generated in the process.

Of course this is all on Windows, and I never had to automate it into a script. So what you need is a command-line-driven Unix-based PS-to-PDF converter. I imagine there is one.

We are using .sqr files to execute sql queries and output html pages. The OS is Solaris 2.5. The application invokes SQR from within a java program, supplying the user name password as parameters and executes using Java's Runtime class. Currently SQR uses one separate connection each time a report is invoked. If there are 50 report requests at the same time, it takes up 50 different connections. I am migrating this application into a J2EE based architecture where all connections to the database (Oracle) must go via a connection pool. And now the question. Is there a mechanism by which I can invoke SQR and make it use connections from my application server's connection pools. My application server provides connection pooling API. If there is a way for SQR to access connection pools I can explore the possibility of it using our API. Thanks in advance.

When you compile your SQR program, you would use the switch -MXYZ.DAT in the command line. Try using the following size allocation in your XYZ.DAT.You need not have anything else in this file.

Each call system using command starts a new shell, so each shell command does not know about the other shell commands. Also you need to use the ftp "batch mode" syntax, ie pass the userid and password on invocation. Check you man ftp for the exact syntax.

It looks quite allright. You just have to remember that whenever you're printing out the header rows you need to set the rowcounter +2. Example: Part Cnt Audits Normal (normal) Single Audit Passed (datarow1) 10 6 5 5 If that solution is what you want, perhaps you could try changing the row height and setting the 'wrap-around' feature in Excel. I dont know if those are features that CSV's accept, but you can easily find out. Save one CSV copy with the normal header line in there, and save another with the height changed and wrap around set for those cells. If you see a reproducable difference between the 2 files, then you can use that to set height and wrap around in your SQR for those cells. -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org]On Behalf Of Bruce Burnell Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 1:37 PM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: [sqr-users] Double lined Headings in CSV We have an SQR that produces a .csv file.

Changes Since Previous Version Changes since the version dated 2003/11/01: o Update subscribe/unsubscribe instructions for new version of list server software. o New URL for "brio-l" mailing 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 Hyperion (and to other products in the SQR product suite). Note: SQR used to be published by SQRIBE Technologies, which was merged into Brio Technology on August 3, 1999. Brio Technology changed its name to Brio Software in October 2001. On October 16, 2003, Hyperion acquired Brio Software. SQR and related applications have also been called "Brio.Report" and "Brio Reports". 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.org/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) 1999-2004 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.

To join, follow the link above, or send any message to "briolist- subscribe@yahoogroups.com". 3. Interacting with the list server The sqr-users mailing list is hosted using the Mailman list server package. All of the Mailman functions described below are accessed from the sqr-users List Info page, "http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users". 3.1. Subscribing to the list To subscribe to the mailing list, enter your e-mail address in the box at the top of the "Subscribing to sqr-users" section on the sqr-users List Info page, then choose a password to assign to your subscription and enter it in both "Password" boxes. This password is used to allow you to securely make changes to your subscription over the web. This password will be e-mailed back to you at varous times, so you should not use the same password as you are using elsewhere. Once you have filled in the password, click the "Subscribe" button. You should soon receive an e-mail message from the list server requesting confirmation of your subscription request. Once you have replied to this message and your subscription has been processed, you will receive a "welcome" message giving you more information on the list server, and as well as a reminder of the subscription password you chose. 3.2. Unsubscribing from the list To unsubscribe from the list, go to the sqr-users List Info page, enter your e-mail address in the "sqr-users Subscribers" section near the bottom of the page, and click the "Unsubscribe or edit options" button. You will then see the "member options" page; fill in your password at the top of the page and click "Log in". (If you have forgotton your password, see the ``Obtaining your Password'' section, below). This will take you to the "membership configuration" page. In the middle of that page, there will be an "Unsubscribing from sqr- users" section; simply turn on the "Yes, I really want to unsubscribe" checkbox and click the "Unsubscribe" button. You should get a page back saying that the removal was successful (as well as a confirmation email message). The removal will take effect immediately; there is no need to send in a confirmation e-mail message. If you don't know your password, you can choose to unsubscribe using e-mail confirmation. Instead of entering the password on the "member options" page, just click the "Unsubscribe" button found just below the "Log In" button. You will then see a page noting that a confirmation e-mail has been sent; once you follow the confirmation instructions in that e-mail your removal will be complete. 3.3. When your email address changes If your e-mail address changes -- for example, if your company changes names, or if your mail administrator changes the way your name is spelled out or abbreviated -- you will need to update your subscription to match your new address before you can post to the list (see the ``Posting'' section, below). To do this, simply log in to your "membership configuration" page (see the directions for logging in to this page in the ``Unsubscribing'' section, above). At the top of that page you'll see a "Changing your membership information" section. Fill out the text boxes and click the "Change My Address and Name" button. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail, and once you have responded to that e-mail your subscription will be updated and you can begin posting from your new address. 3.4. Digests You can request to get your messages in digest form (one large message containing all of the posts made each day). To do this, log in to your "membership configuration" page (see the directions on doing this in the ``Unsubscribing'' section, above). At the bottom of the page, you will see a section titled "Your sqr-users Subscription Options". Change the "Set Digest Mode" option (the second option in the list) to "On" and click the "Submit My Changes" button at the bottom of the page. You actually have a choice of two different digest formats, "MIME" or "Plain Text". The MIME format sends each individual list message as a separate MIME attachment to the digest; the plain text format consists of one large text message, with all of the individual messages run together. Which format you will want to use depends on your mail- reading software (and personal preference). If you are not sure which format will work best, you can just leave the default setting of "MIME" and see if the next morning's digest is easy to read in your mail reader -- you can change to the other format at any time using that same web page. 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. To restore normal distribution, simply follow the above instructions choosing the "Off" setting for the Digest option. 3.5. Obtaining your password You will not be able to change your subscription options without your password. If you have forgotten your password, simply click the "Email My Password to Me" button on the "member options" page and your password will be emailed to you. You will also be e-mailed a copy of your password at the beginning of each month, as part of a "mailing list memberships reminder" message from the Mailman software. 3.6. Problems If the above instructions do not work, please contact the list manager at "sqr-users-manager@sqrug.org". (Do not send a message to the list itself -- no one there can help you with your problem!) Please include a description of what you were trying to do and what exactly happened when you made the attempt. 4. Posting to the sqr-users List In order to post to the mailing list, you must be subscribed to it (see directions above). More specifically, in order for Mailman to recognize that this message was sent by a subscriber, the return address on your message much exactly match the addresss you used to subscribe -- if you have more than one address you will need to be sure that you are sending from the correct one. (See the ``When you email address changes'' section, above, if your e-mail address has changed since you subscribed.) 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 as other subscribers' mail systems repond....) 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.) The list server will delete these special attachments from your message and send you a warning notice. Also, if you are trying to send (for example) SQR source code files, make sure your mail-reader software is assigning proper MIME types to your attachments or they may not be distributed. 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. o ignore abusive and inappropriate messages that get sent to the list, rather than getting drawn into a debate. The very nature of these messages will cause most subscribers to automatically discredit them -- no "response" is necessary. To the contrary, any response will only "add fuel to the fire," prolonging the controversy and further interupting the normal conversation on the list. 4.2. Posting a Message Once you are subscribed, you can post to the list by sending a message to "sqr-users@sqrug.org". 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 SQR product name and version number (see notes below) o Operating system name 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. (For PeopleSoft- specific questions, see other lists mentioned in the ``Related Mailing Lists'' section.) In 2001, PeopleSoft purchased from Brio the rights to the source code for SQR and began releasing its own line of SQR. PeopleSoft's SQR version numbering is different from Brio/Hyperion's, so it's very important to mention whether you are using Hyperion's "SQR" or "SQR for PeopleSoft". (This info is included automatically if you include the full SQR version-id string as described below.) To get the version-id string for your copy 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 and database version numbers listed here are the ones under which this copy of SQR was compiled, so you'll still need to include this information for your own environment. In a command-line environment (Unix, etc.), you can also get this version-id string by saying sqr -id 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.) 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. _______________________________________________ sqr-users mailing list sqr-users@sqrug.org http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users From sqr-users-bounces+sqrusersarch=sqrug.org@sqrug.org Tue Feb 01 08:11:21 2005 Date: Tue, 01 Feb 2005 08:08:57 -0500 From: "George Jansen" Subject: Re: [sqr-users] Clob, sqr and sql variables CLOBs allow you to check their NULL/NOT NULL status without the need for PL/SQL: SQL> create table whizbang (a number, b clob); Table created.

(PeopleSoft's process misses these too) What you may want to do is something like this: step 0: Purge tables that are not necessary (logs, etc) 1) create a temp table with one field RECNAME 2) find all the tables with fields containing EMPLID, then check if there are rows in that table (I would bet you don't have rows in 50% of the PS tables). If so insert the table name in the temp table 3) Now select all the rows from PS_PERSONAL_DATA. For each of these, do an update on the tables in the temp table updating the ID. 4) Update the statistics on all the tables in your DB. That will take a loooooong time - although 10,000 is not very many people. It all depends how much data you have. You may also need to add indexes to speed things up.

We have a web reporting system that uses Oracle Reports that resides outside of PeopleSoft. Some our reports are written so that you can drill-down on a column value and have a new report called (for detail). We would like to do the same within PeopleSoft and I've found 2 ways to possibly do it. I've written an SQR using HTML with hyperlinks to the run control page of what would be the drill-down report. Unfortunately this approach requires the user to actually run the next report using the run control, etc. The other approach I've attempted is creating all of the reports (the main report and the 'drill-down' reports) within the same SQR and then use anchors to find the spot in the drill-downs that corresponds to the main report link. The problem I had here was that the main report is written to our webserver (PSREPORTS directory) but the drill-downs are written to the Unix SQR directory where they will be overwritten as soon as another user runs the same report. We are using SQR for PeopleSoft 8.44.10 on /Sun/SunOS 5.6/Oracle 8.0.6. Has anyone accomplished what I am trying to accomplish and if so can you give me any insight on what I need to do to make it happen? Any information (especially if I'm wasting my time trying to do this) would be greatly appreciated. I've been using SQR in PeopleSoft and Other Applications for reference. If you can recommend any other reference material I'd appreciate that as well.

However, I would prefer to output PDF files for reasons of space since they are much smaller than the postscript output (perhaps that's because there is no logo? see next).

Before the big 4 part condition check, write " show 'Before Condition. Time11diff=' to_char(#Time_11_Diff) '. Time19diff=' ...etc " you might have to set those #'s to $ variables before the show, i dont know if to_char works in show. But there is a bit of a problem printing the # variables. Then place a "show ' entered -11, +19, UMP>=2, +18diff LOOP' " inside that IF statment. If it shows up in your log, then the IF was evaluated as 'TRUE'. Then place another inside your other statements. Using those, you can see what IFs happen and what the variables are at that time, and that should help you narrow down your problem.

The leading zeros may very well exist in the file, but excel will try to format anything that it thinks is a number as a number, and will "remove" leading zeros. Try opening the file using a text editor to see if leading zeros are truly missing. If you want to be able to open the csv in excel and still see the leading zeros, you will need to surround the value in quotes, and precede it with an equal sign ( ="001111" ) so that excel will display the value as 001111.

Drop it down to something that will obviously fit (say 150) to see if that will work. If that's the problem, keep testing to find the maximum value that it will accept. It's possible that something has changed and you are now above the maximum width of pixels for a legal landscape document.

If you could get the desired array size onto the command line you might just be able to make it work. This sample shows how ask can be used to set array size using a replacement variable. Don't know that this method would work if you are executing SQTs though.

The only question is how far you'll go. 1. Write another SQR program that gets the count from abc_table. 2a. Have it do a "call system" to execute your main program with the count as one of the parameters. Put an "ask" in your main program. 2b. Have it write a file with the name "count.sqc" and the contents "#define abc_count 100" Then have it execute your main program, or execute it yourself. Then main program needs the following statements: #include 'count.sqc' begin-setup create-array name BUs size={abc_count} ... end-setup Alternately, make the array big enough for anything. Are these Peoplesoft Business Units? Your organization isn't going to vary the number of business units by an order of magnitude. If they're something else, make the array 1000 or 100,000. Modern PCs or servers have hundreds or thousands of megabytes of main memory and operating systems that offer even more virtual memory. Go crazy if you have to - the memory will be there. If you're using the array simply to record the name of each business unit, and you're reading it once from a table and not changing it, consider "load-lookup." -----Original Message----- From: Sony Dada [mailto:sony_dada@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 9:26 AM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: RE: [sqr-users] dynamic array size I am not ruling out both (Richard & Jeff's) of your comments, but if we look at Dan's email which was posted in 2001, it looks like there is a possibility.

Therefore any dynamic declaration of the array must happen at compile time and can not be dependent upon any sql information. There might be various ways to get around this, such as running an sql select in a script first and then passing that variable into the sqr. Ultimately, I guess it boils town to cost-benefit..... Is it really worth the effort to make something dynamic just so you can prove tricky stuff works? or is it easier/more resource efficient to determine the maximum size it could ever be and add 10 - 20 percent? Given the speed of hardware and the cost of RAM, I am guessing the second is more cost effective. hope this helps. peace, clark 'the dragon' willis PSA: Salary <> Slavery.

Use a database table. Wrap the access in a function with a begin-select or begin-sql paragraph if you wish to.

The show and display commands write to the SQR log file (which is the one and only "SQR log file"). If you wish to write to a PeopleSoft log file(?) (are you referring to PSPRCSRQST?), you would do so in the same way you would write to any other file/table (Write or Insert). I disagree with your comment about the need for this forum. Often one encounters situations or questions that are not covered in a manual and one then uses this forum to draw upon the experience of others in resolving the situation or answering the question (why re-invent the wheel?). Everyone should at least attempt to use the manuals first. At least it would give you the understanding that SQR and PeopleSoft are two seperate and distinct software entities and that in the SQR world, "log file" refers to "sqr.log" (which is used to log the outputs of Display and Show commands). >>> Soumya.Sankaran@blr.hexaware.com 2005/02/25 05:49:37 >>> If we all were to use manuals we wouldnt need such a forum..

Show and display both write to the SQR log file, so it sounds like you just need to find the right log file (not to be confused with the trace file). Your debugging hints should be in there. I also agree with him as far as this forum is concerned. This shouldn't be used for rather rudimentary questions. It should be more complex problems that an SQR manual probably wouldn't answer. Or, having tried the manuals extensively, someone asks a question that they cant find an answer to. Maybe it's because they're looking for the wrong words in the manual, there's an error they've never seen before, or it's just something not covered. Sometimes it's an entire logic-processing error (they're going about a problem bass-ackwards). That's what I see as the use for this forum. Nobody likes to spend the time explaining how to move a string to a number, how to write to a file, or how unstring and to_char work. Most people spend a decent amount of time on a problem before turning to the forum, out of respect for all the people who might take their time to answer the questions/problems. If you're relatively new to SQR, I agree with 'the dragon', you should look into getting a manual or SQR reference. I have a few places I look (including the archives of this sqr-user group) before actually sending out an email. Thanks.

The show and display commands write to the SQR log file (which is the one and only "SQR log file"). If you wish to write to a PeopleSoft log file(?) (are you referring to PSPRCSRQST?), you would do so in the same way you would write to any other file/table (Write or Insert). I disagree with your comment about the need for this forum. Often one encounters situations or questions that are not covered in a manual and one then uses this forum to draw upon the experience of others in resolving the situation or answering the question (why re-invent the wheel?). Everyone should at least attempt to use the manuals first. At least it would give you the understanding that SQR and PeopleSoft are two seperate and distinct software entities and that in the SQR world, "log file" refers to "sqr.log" (which is used to log the outputs of Display and Show commands). >>> Soumya.Sankaran@blr.hexaware.com 2005/02/25 05:49:37 >>> If we all were to use manuals we wouldnt need such a forum..

Changes Since Previous Version Changes since the version dated 2003/11/01: o Update subscribe/unsubscribe instructions for new version of list server software. o New URL for "brio-l" mailing 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 Hyperion (and to other products in the SQR product suite). Note: SQR used to be published by SQRIBE Technologies, which was merged into Brio Technology on August 3, 1999. Brio Technology changed its name to Brio Software in October 2001. On October 16, 2003, Hyperion acquired Brio Software. SQR and related applications have also been called "Brio.Report" and "Brio Reports". 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.org/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) 1999-2004 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 Here are some mailing lists that cover topics relating to SQR in some way. 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 "briolist- subscribe@yahoogroups.com". 3. Interacting with the list server The sqr-users mailing list is hosted using the Mailman list server package. All of the Mailman functions described below are accessed from the sqr-users List Info page, "http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users". 3.1. Subscribing to the list To subscribe to the mailing list, enter your e-mail address in the box at the top of the "Subscribing to sqr-users" section on the sqr-users List Info page, then choose a password to assign to your subscription and enter it in both "Password" boxes. This password is used to allow you to securely make changes to your subscription over the web. This password will be e-mailed back to you at varous times, so you should not use the same password as you are using elsewhere. Once you have filled in the password, click the "Subscribe" button. You should soon receive an e-mail message from the list server requesting confirmation of your subscription request. Once you have replied to this message and your subscription has been processed, you will receive a "welcome" message giving you more information on the list server, and as well as a reminder of the subscription password you chose. 3.2. Unsubscribing from the list To unsubscribe from the list, go to the sqr-users List Info page, enter your e-mail address in the "sqr-users Subscribers" section near the bottom of the page, and click the "Unsubscribe or edit options" button. You will then see the "member options" page; fill in your password at the top of the page and click "Log in". (If you have forgotton your password, see the ``Obtaining your Password'' section, below). This will take you to the "membership configuration" page. In the middle of that page, there will be an "Unsubscribing from sqr- users" section; simply turn on the "Yes, I really want to unsubscribe" checkbox and click the "Unsubscribe" button. You should get a page back saying that the removal was successful (as well as a confirmation email message). The removal will take effect immediately; there is no need to send in a confirmation e-mail message. If you don't know your password, you can choose to unsubscribe using e-mail confirmation. Instead of entering the password on the "member options" page, just click the "Unsubscribe" button found just below the "Log In" button. You will then see a page noting that a confirmation e-mail has been sent; once you follow the confirmation instructions in that e-mail your removal will be complete. 3.3. When your email address changes If your e-mail address changes -- for example, if your company changes names, or if your mail administrator changes the way your name is spelled out or abbreviated -- you will need to update your subscription to match your new address before you can post to the list (see the ``Posting'' section, below). To do this, simply log in to your "membership configuration" page (see the directions for logging in to this page in the ``Unsubscribing'' section, above). At the top of that page you'll see a "Changing your membership information" section. Fill out the text boxes and click the "Change My Address and Name" button. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail, and once you have responded to that e-mail your subscription will be updated and you can begin posting from your new address. 3.4. Digests You can request to get your messages in digest form (one large message containing all of the posts made each day). To do this, log in to your "membership configuration" page (see the directions on doing this in the ``Unsubscribing'' section, above). At the bottom of the page, you will see a section titled "Your sqr-users Subscription Options". Change the "Set Digest Mode" option (the second option in the list) to "On" and click the "Submit My Changes" button at the bottom of the page. You actually have a choice of two different digest formats, "MIME" or "Plain Text". The MIME format sends each individual list message as a separate MIME attachment to the digest; the plain text format consists of one large text message, with all of the individual messages run together. Which format you will want to use depends on your mail- reading software (and personal preference). If you are not sure which format will work best, you can just leave the default setting of "MIME" and see if the next morning's digest is easy to read in your mail reader -- you can change to the other format at any time using that same web page. 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. To restore normal distribution, simply follow the above instructions choosing the "Off" setting for the Digest option. 3.5. Obtaining your password You will not be able to change your subscription options without your password. If you have forgotten your password, simply click the "Email My Password to Me" button on the "member options" page and your password will be emailed to you. You will also be e-mailed a copy of your password at the beginning of each month, as part of a "mailing list memberships reminder" message from the Mailman software. 3.6. Problems If the above instructions do not work, please contact the list manager at "sqr-users-manager@sqrug.org". (Do not send a message to the list itself -- no one there can help you with your problem!) Please include a description of what you were trying to do and what exactly happened when you made the attempt. 4. Posting to the sqr-users List In order to post to the mailing list, you must be subscribed to it (see directions above). More specifically, in order for Mailman to recognize that this message was sent by a subscriber, the return address on your message much exactly match the addresss you used to subscribe -- if you have more than one address you will need to be sure that you are sending from the correct one. (See the ``When you email address changes'' section, above, if your e-mail address has changed since you subscribed.) 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 as other subscribers' mail systems repond....) 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.) The list server will delete these special attachments from your message and send you a warning notice. Also, if you are trying to send (for example) SQR source code files, make sure your mail-reader software is assigning proper MIME types to your attachments or they may not be distributed. 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. o ignore abusive and inappropriate messages that get sent to the list, rather than getting drawn into a debate. The very nature of these messages will cause most subscribers to automatically discredit them -- no "response" is necessary. To the contrary, any response will only "add fuel to the fire," prolonging the controversy and further interupting the normal conversation on the list. 4.2. Posting a Message Once you are subscribed, you can post to the list by sending a message to "sqr-users@sqrug.org". 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 SQR product name and version number (see notes below) o Operating system name 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. (For PeopleSoft- specific questions, see other lists mentioned in the ``Related Mailing Lists'' section.) In 2001, PeopleSoft purchased from Brio the rights to the source code for SQR and began releasing its own line of SQR. PeopleSoft's SQR version numbering is different from Brio/Hyperion's, so it's very important to mention whether you are using Hyperion's "SQR" or "SQR for PeopleSoft". (This info is included automatically if you include the full SQR version-id string as described below.) To get the version-id string for your copy 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 and database version numbers listed here are the ones under which this copy of SQR was compiled, so you'll still need to include this information for your own environment. In a command-line environment (Unix, etc.), you can also get this version-id string by saying sqr -id 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.

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. _______________________________________________ sqr-users mailing list sqr-users@sqrug.org http://www.sqrug.org/mailman/listinfo/sqr-users From sqr-users-bounces+sqrusersarch=sqrug.org@sqrug.org Tue Mar 01 08:21:27 2005 Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2005 07:57:31 -0500 From: "George Jansen" Subject: Re: [sqr-users] problems with using length(field) Just my usual wet-blanket post: tell your DBAs that this is a gross violation of 1st Normal Form, i.e. thou shalt not encode information into a portion of a field.

You can use separate print statements, and use a print location of (,+1) (same line, one column to the right) to add the underlined text at the proper location. For your example: Print 'Therefore,' (+1,10) Print 'you must take one' (,+1) underline Print 'of the following actions to avoid further consequences.' (,+1) If you are using a non-monospace font, it becomes much more difficult to properly place the text for the separate print statements. You can scan the archives for discussions on how to do this.

I want some of it to be underlined, but most of it will not be.' to $text do print_html($text,#length,#y,#x) or even move '

This paragraph will be right and left justified like a newspaper column. This is some long text that will definitely wrap onto multiple lines. I want some of it to be underlined, but most of it will not be.

This paragraph will have extra white space above it.

' to $text do print_html($text,#length,#y,#x) I haven't decided what to do with it yet (just give it away or try to license a toolkit). Is this what you are looking for? Steve, why don't you send me a note off line and we can work something out. Poll: Would any of your organizations want to do sophisticated things with proportional fonts and html rendering in SQR? Send me responses and I'll publish results back to this list.

Subject: [sqr-users] unix email in SQR I'm having a problem having my Unix machine send mail messages from SQR, and I dont understand why. I know that all of my select logic and program logic is correct. The program does everything it's supposed to except send the message to us to let us know it did it. In the log message I get the error 'Error sending e-mail to: bstone@fastenal.com' ...which is the message I make with the 'show' statement when the #unix_status returns some non-0 value (error value). In my opinion, this error has something to do with the string that I'm passing to the I had this working before in our production environment, but it stopped working when I started using the DIST_REGION_INFO procedure.

When I run that command (copied and pasted DIRECTLY from the log file) on the unix command line on the machine that runs our SQRs, it sends the email. That's one of the extremely frustrating parts of this entire thing...it works everywhere I've tested, but not production. I've been fiddling with this stupid email thing off and on for about 3 weeks. Each time I'm pretty sure it will work (because it does on our TST system) it doesn't. GRR! *slams head into wall* ..*wall falls over because it's only a cube wall*... I dont understand any of this. It works one place, but doesn't work another. When I'm in our DEV system, it sends the email...but not PRD. When I use the command line manually it works, but not when called from the SQR. When it was the old way it worked...but not since changes that shouldn't have caused problems... I need magic-fairy-dust to sprinkle on my SQR...that would make it all better. That, or any ideas you guys might have.

It works one place, but doesn't work another. When I'm in our DEV system, it sends the email...but not PRD. When I use the command line manually it works, but not when called from the SQR. When it was the old way it worked...but not since changes that shouldn't have caused problems... I need magic-fairy-dust to sprinkle on my SQR...that would make it all better.

If I remove the dynamic variable $WC_Where_1 the SQR compiles the SQL successfully and generates a report. I want to introduce dynamic where clauses to filter the data returned. Any suggestions on what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated. The SQL above is an abridged version, there are 8 unions in the actual SQL.

I have not made it publicly available on our website since I may decide to sell something some day, but I am willing to give away copies (that you can use forever) to a few people to help them solve their problems. You would be able to replace "print $title () wrap #wrap 4 keep-top" with "do wrap($title, #wrap, 0, 0)" and it will handle the proportional font.

That's one of the extremely frustrating parts of this entire thing...it works everywhere I've tested, but not production. I've been fiddling with this stupid email thing off and on for about 3 weeks.

It works one place, but doesn't work another. When I'm in our DEV system, it sends the email...but not PRD. When I use the command line manually it works, but not when called from the SQR. When it was the old way it worked...but not since changes that shouldn't have caused problems... I need magic-fairy-dust to sprinkle on my SQR...that would make it all better.

In the log message I get the error 'Error sending e-mail to: bstone@fastenal.com' ...which is the message I make with the 'show' statement when the #unix_status returns some non-0 value (error value).

First, figure out which line "Total salary: xxxx" will go on. I assume there would be some sort of header rows, so maybe it would be on the 4th line. Set your rownum to 5, and print each row after that through your SQL. '0001' '5000', and so forth. Then at the end, you know your sum, and you can print using rownum of 4 again. In this case you have to have some sort of 'write_to_csv' procedure. For example, if you wanted to print a number on a specific column you could: let $to_write = 'C' || $rownum || $column || ';K' || $actual_output_data write #file from $to_write The second possibility, probably less work for you, but also less efficient...if that matters to you in your specific environment. Run through your SQL you use for the sum once at the beginning to get the sum. Print your total. Then run it through again to look at each specific row, printing as you go. begin-sql sum(columns_you_need) $total write 1 from 'total salary: ' || $total from table a, table b where a.key = b.key end-sql write 1 from 'emplid' || $tab || 'salary' begin-sql !same from clause. emplid salary write 1 from $emplid || $tab || $salary from table a, table b where a.key = b.key end-sql -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org]On Behalf Of Manoj Singh Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 4:02 AM To: This list is for discussion about the SQR database reporting language from Hyperion Solutions.

Sometimes using a full pathname for the echo command (when you setup the command in the SQR report) will provide more predictable results. Below is some info from the "man" pages of an older Solaris unix box to illustrate what I am getting at. The theory being that something in the contents of your SQR generated variable is being taken by the "echo" command as something other than plain "content". Also, what is the default shell for users on the production server (or at least the one that SQR commands are executed in) korn, bourne, cshell? That may be effecting how "echo" is behaving differently from your other servers. If you can grab the actual value of #unix_status you may get a better idea of how "echo" is crashing. Bob. * * * NAME echo - echo arguments SYNOPSIS /usr/bin/echo [ string ... ] USAGE Portable applications should not use -n (as the first argu- ment) or escape sequences. The printf(1) utility can be used portably to emulate any of the traditional behaviors of the echo utility as follows: o The Solaris 2.6 operating environment or compatible version's/usr/bin/echo is equivalent to: printf "%b\n" "$*" o The /usr/ucb/echo is equivalent to: if [ "X$1" = "X-n" ] then shift printf "%s" "$*" else printf "%s\n" "$*" fi New applications are encouraged to use printf instead of echo. sqr-users-request@sqrug.org wrote: >I think multiple people have suggested that I let my $command variable be >the product of left-carroting a file to my mailx command, like this - > >mailx -s "subject" email@comp.com < /path/email_body_in_file.txt > >That's what I've now implemented, although we haven't had the process >trigger the email section with that $command yet.

And who knows what kind of chain reaction one wall falling could have on the rest of the area. Anyway, I wanted to show you what I used to get my email notification to work as I wanted. Because a working solution should be shared. The final solution was to left carrot a file containing the body of the email to the mailx command. Throughout the SQR, as I'm checking certain things and adding the BUs to different tables, I was also adding to a string called $email_body things like "ABCDE - new BU added to table_x for this purpose. PS Live." || $cr Then at the end, I check to see if my $new_bu_found flag was set to 'YUP', and if so I wanted to email whatever I'd set the string to. I wrote a procedure 'email-message' to send it. So I pass in the group (we're inventory, so 'IN'), the program ('in176.sqr'), the subject (string containing "New BUs added"), and the body ($email_body). We have an email table we use for notifications like this, orgainized by group/program. So for each active (status = 'A') email, it will fire off the command. And the command looks like this: mailx -s "New BUs added" email@company.com < /path/in176_new_bu_email.txt With that in mind, here's the email procedure: !**************************************************** begin-procedure email-message($group, $prog_name, $subject, $body) !**************************************************** LET $filepathname = $path || 'in176_new_bu_email.txt' OPEN $filepathname AS 1 FOR-WRITING RECORD=5000 write 1 from $body close 1 begin-SELECT email_address let $email_address =ltrim( rtrim(&email_address, ' '), ' ') let $command = 'mailx -s "' || $subject || '" ' || $email_address || ' < ' || $filepathname call system using $command #unix_status if #unix_status <> 0 show 'Error sending e-mail to: ' $email_address end-if from ps_fas_email_tbl where fas_group = $group and fas_prg_name = $prog_name and status = 'A' end-select end-procedure -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+bstone=fastenal.com@sqrug.org]On Behalf Of Bob Stone Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 3:40 PM To: 'This list is for discussion about the SQR database reporting language from Hyperion Solutions.' Subject: RE: [sqr-users] unix email in SQR I think multiple people have suggested that I let my $command variable be the product of left-carroting a file to my mailx command, like this - mailx -s "subject" email@comp.com < /path/email_body_in_file.txt That's what I've now implemented, although we haven't had the process trigger the email section with that $command yet. We only get an email from the process when a new business_unit is added, and it doesn't happen every day. It works on our DEV and TST systems, but so did the other way.

We are tryingn to desing a good error logging or capturing mechanism in our SQRs those would write enough information to SYSOUT, so that operaters and developers can easily figureout the nature of error.=20 As far as DB2 errors are concerned we are thinking to customize SQL-ERROR SQC to have more detailed information like in which procedure it failed etc...But as far as file related errors, or runtime errors or environment errors are concerned, how do we capture them and write them to SYSOUT.

Your SQR program has a main selection that identifies employees in the proper paygroup and in the departments accessible to DPALL. Then you select PS_TL_RPTD_ELPTIME for each employee. Then you select PS_TL_PAYABLE_TIME for each employee and TRC. That's going to be slow. Is DPALL defined as "all departments?" If so, take it out of your selections entirely and save the join of PS_FAST_PERSGL_VW1. Keep the PS_JOB join to PS_TL_RPTD_ELPTIME and to PS_TL_PAYABLE_TIME. That will reduce the number of SQL executes and probably speed you up more than the join to PS_JOB will slow you down. You don't care about individual employees, only the total for each TRC. The current row of PS_JOB should be as of PAY_END_DT, not as of SYSDATE. You want the employees who were in that PAYGROUP during that pay period - not the employees who are in the paygroup when you run the report. Don't call the payable time selection from the elapsed time selection. It's unlikely, but what if there is time in a TRC in payable time but not in elapsed time? You'd want to catch that type of error. I think you have the right approach to use arrays. You could create a load-lookup to map your complete list of TRCs to the index of your array. If you're using Oracle, the return value is ROWNUM. I don't know what you'd do in other databases: load-lookup name=trc_index table='(select T.TRC, ROWNUM from PS_TL_TRC_TBL T where T.EFFDT = (select max(EFFDT) from PS_TL_TRC_TBL where TRC = T.TRC) order by T.TRC)' key=T.TRC return_value=ROWNUM rows=100 -----Original Message----- From: radhika reddy [mailto:radhika_05@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 24, 2005 5:08 PM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Subject: [sqr-users] SQR Report Hi, i am trying to figure out the best way to write this report.

You can use "print-direct" to enter PS commands into your output file. There is an example of printing rotated text here: http://www.ontko.com/sqr/ Look for "vertical printing" about 1/2 way down the page. Of course you will want it rotated 180 degrees rather than 90.

There are a number of companies that are willing to create TTF fonts for a fee. You would need to purchase a font in the typeface you need (probably an OCR with barcode capability?). Be sure to request that they flip the glyphs horizontally. There is an open source program to convert TTF fonts to Adobe Type 1 fonts: http://mheath.customer.netspace.net.au/ttf2pt1/ This provides the PFB and AFM files of which you will need the AFM. Copy the new AFM to the same folder as the AFMs, supplied with SQR, for the Adobe core fonts. Add references to the new AFM in SQR.ini and pdflib.upr. In the print routine you'll need to reverse the name and address strings and right-justify them. Reference the new font on the PRINT statement. The barcode might prove to be more of a challenge if you are currently letting SQR generate it. -----Original Message----- From: sqr-users-bounces+jeff.steinfeldt=wellsfargo.com@sqrug.org [mailto:sqr-users-bounces+jeff.steinfeldt=wellsfargo.com@sqrug.org] On Behalf Of Susan Lomovasky Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2005 2:07 PM To: sqr-users@sqrug.org Cc: Richard Westbay Subject: [sqr-users] Printing in mirror mode Hi everybody!

You can check this out with: Let $TranscriptLine = &A.TSCRPT_COMP_DATA show 'Transcript data = |' $TranscriptLine '|' print $TranscriptLine (+1,0) If you see spaces, get rid of them Let $TranscriptLine = ltrim(&A.TSCRPT_COMP_DATA, ' ') show 'Transcript data = |' $TranscriptLine '|' print $TranscriptLine (+1,0) peace, clark 'the dragon' willis PSA: Salary <> Slavery.

Carl Sandburg (1878 - 1967) ----Original Message Follows---- Hello All - I am encountering some weird behavior with a print statement I am using in a SQR. Essentially, I would like to read a table and print the contents of a field, and then print the contents of the next row on the next line: begin-Select A.REPORT_REQUEST_NBR, A.REQUEST_SEQ_NBR, A.REPORT_NUMBER, B.COPY_NUMBER, A.REPORT_LINE_NBR, A.TSCRPT_COMP_CODE, A.TSCRPT_COMP_DATA, A.DISPLAY_ATTR, B.TSCRPT_TITLE, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR1, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR2, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR3, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR4, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR5, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR6, B.TSCRPT_INS_ADDR7, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR1, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR2, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR3, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR4, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR5, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR6, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR7, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR8, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR9, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR10, B.TSCRPT_EM_ADDR11 Let $TranscriptLine = &A.TSCRPT_COMP_DATA print $TranscriptLine (+1,0) FROM PS_SA_REPORT_RSLT A, PS_SA_RPT_RSLT_HDR B WHERE A.REPORT_REQUEST_NBR = $ReptReqstID AND A.REQUEST_SEQ_NBR = $ReptReqstSeq AND A.REPORT_REQUEST_NBR = B.REPORT_REQUEST_NBR AND A.REQUEST_SEQ_NBR = B.REQUEST_SEQ_NBR AND A.REPORT_NUMBER = B.REPORT_NUMBER AND A.TSCRPT_COMP_CODE NOT LIKE 'T0%' AND A.TSCRPT_COMP_CODE NOT LIKE 'IN%' AND A.TSCRPT_COMP_CODE NOT LIKE 'EM%' ORDER BY 1, 2, 3, 5 end-Select I would expect the output to be: Transcript Line 1 Transcript Line 2 Transcript Line 3 Transcript Line 4 (etc.) But I am getting: Transcript Line 1 Transcript Line 2 Transcript Line 3 Transcript Line 4 (etc.) Can anyone explain why this could happen, or maybe suggest a fix? Thanks!

It turns out that Ian was right. Once I used "print x (+1,1)" it worked. Using the "print x (+1,0)" was screwing it up. have a great day everybody!
