[U2] Date comparison

Re: [U2] Date comparison
Hi Barry, Unless I am mis-understanding your example, you appear to be doing this comparison using external format dates which is doomed to failure. They will be compared as simple character strings, left to right, until a difference is found. You need to do the comparison with an internal day number.

Re: [U2] Date comparison
Isn't your 2nd line of code going to be doing a string comparison on the date, not a true date (number) comparison? I always do an internal format comparison of dates. If you need to do string comparisons, you d want them in -MM-DD format, but I advise against it.

Re: [U2] Date comparison
You should always work with dates/times/numbers in internal format and only convert them to external format for display. Wherever ST.DATE came from, it should have been converted using ICONV: ST.DATE=ICONV(ST.DATE,D) and have a value of 16091 (assuming that the 12 means 2012 and not 1912). The comparison would be IF ST.DATE ICONV(12-31-2011,D) THEN The actual data stored in a file should be in internal format--never ever external. When using query LIST/SELECT, make sure the dictionary is right justified and has a date conversion: 0001 D 0002 1 0003 D4/ 0004 DATE 0005 10R or in a 10-line dict: 0001 A 0002 1 0003 date 0004 0005 0006 0007 D4/ 0008 0009 R 0010 10 If the date conversion is being done by an type expression instead of a conversion, or by a correlative on the 8th line of a 10-line dict instead of by a conversion on line 7, queries will likely not work. When you use a query like: SELECT INVOICE-FILE WITH DATE.DUE 01/01/2012 the query processor uses the conversion code to convert 01/01/2012 into internal format, and then compare against the internal data on file. If you don't have data in internal format, then this is just a string comparison, and 01/01/2012 is NOT equal to 01/01/12, and 02/01/2000 is great than 01/01/2012.

[U2] SQL Select and order by
Hi All, I have just started to use SQL queries in universe instead of Retrieve. When I perform a SQL select against a Universe file and save it to a SAVEDLISTS record each record is on a new field line and the column data is separated by text marks. For example if I have a file with the following data File: MYFILE @ID COL1COL2COL3 --- 1 ABC 123 Moo 2 DEF 456 Woof 3 HIG 789 Meow SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3 TO SLIST 1 FROM MYFILE; I would then get a saved list with 3 fields. ABC @TM 123 @TM Moo DEF @TM 546 @TM Woof HIG @TM 789 @TM Meow But if I add the ORDER BY to the end of my SQL query it does not use text markers SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3 TO SLIST 1 FROM MYFILE ORDER BY COL1; My saved list is then made up of 9 fields. ABC 123 Moo DEF 456 Woof HIG 789 Meow From reading the documentation I could not find anything specific about this. The closest thing I found was regarding multi column record id in SQL are separated by text marks. This makes it interesting when using SQL select statements in a Subroutine when using READNEXT. In the first example there are 3 rows and each READNEXT returns all the data you want separated by text markers. SQLCOM = SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3 TO SLIST 1 FROM MYFILE; EXECUTE SQLCOM SETTING NUMFOUND CAPTURING TRASH LOOP WHILE READNEXT REC.ROW FROM 1 CRT REC.ROW REPEAT In the second example there are 9 rows and each you have to call READNEXT 3 times to get all your column data for one record. SQLCOM = SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3 TO SLIST 1 FROM MYFILE ORDER BY COL1; EXECUTE SQLCOM SETTING NUMFOUND CAPTURING TRASH LOOP WHILE READNEXT REC.ROW FROM 1 CRT REC.ROW REPEAT Why does the ORDER BY statement change my SLIST?
