[sqr-users] Re: Calling multiple files & creating single output file

[john.tucker@oracle.com]

Seeing the comments on #including gave me another idea.  You are correct that 
you can't #include an SQR, and the Begin-Program/Report block is a part of the 
reason why.  OK, I don't actually know of any other reasons, but I assume there 
probably are some.

What you could do is change the "secondary" SQRs into SQCs and then #include 
the SQCs.  Given a main SQR called main.sqr and an SQR you'd like to #include 
called second.sqr, here's what I'm thinking:
1) open second.sqr, rename the Begin-Program/Begin-Report block to 
Second-Program (or whatever)
2) save it as second.sqc
3) create a new second.sqr that basically consists of four lines of code:
Begin-Program
   Do Second-Program
End-Program

#include second.sqc

That would allow you to #include second.sqc in main.sqr and still use it as a 
standalone.  There may be a bit of additional work to do if you have procedures 
that you only want to run if the program's being run as a standalone, but there 
are simple ways to take care of that in most cases.
