RE: [sqr-users] Training question

and thats for sqr...... they must send their programmers to
the College of How to ScrewUp a Wet Dream to teach them
how to take a great language, cobol, and turn it into
something almost complete unrecognizable

Lol... you're funny.  Sam, that's the worst possibly advice. 
PeopleSoft 
writes the crappiest code I have ever seen and seems to have no
internal 
coding standards or guidelines...

Laura,
   I am not sure what system you are on but if its Peoplesoft, you
would 
probably want to look at their delivered reports and clone based on
that.
   SQRly yours,

If you are an experienced programmer, just find some examples -
hopefully of good code. Peoplesoft will not be much help there. SQR is
a very simple language but there are a few gotchas. One I can think of
is - if your SQL select block does not return any rows, no code in
that
block will be executed. On the other hand, no new language will be all
that easy without some help - either good examples or some experienced
person to ask questions of or some text or, best of all, all of those.
