It is a "feature" that it can be used to retrieve the result from the previous evaluation. Another difference between variants of the @ function ... which bit me when we switched from PI-Open to UV ... On PI, when one i-descriptor referenced another, it pulled in the compiled code as a "subroutine" or something like that. So you could combine i-descriptors that used this technique. On UV, it pulls in the source. So if an i-descriptor calls another i-descriptor using this technique you get nasty, subtle or not so subtle, breakage.

Re: [U2] Running total
The important general idea is this: Use the @-buffer to get the result of the i-desc calculation from the *previous* record to apply it to the calculation for the *current* record. (RetrieVe inits @-buffers to null (which goes to 0) when the sentence executes.) I don't think this works for UD's uniQuery. From Martin's response, I'm guessing not for QM, either. Kate's non-compound solution, "@1+F1", is superior to my own, "@2+F1; @1", because it allows nesting this I-descriptor inside a 2nd. For example, if you want to use this as part of running-weighted-averages. Better still, "ADDS(@,F1)" or "@ + SUMMATION( @ )" because they handle multivalues. I knew you all could come up with the details to suit your purposes. The important piece of the puzzle is extracting the previous record's calculation for use in the next record's calculation. Another example of the same idea is to see if a value has changed & process accordingly, effectively a breakpoint control inside an i-descriptor: <2> : @2; CUST.ID; IF @1 = @2 THEN [logic for same customer as last time] ELSE [logic for next customer] (The above would only be useful on a presorted list.) cds On 7/4/2013 5:04 AM, Kate Stanton wrote: I could only find doc for this in the System Description manual, where it talks about using @ in I-type expressions, where @ is the previous one (just resolved), @1 is result of first "sentence" (separated by ;), @2 is result of 2nd sentence, etc. I could not see an example of using the result from the previous record, but it works.

Re: [U2] Running total
But correct me if I'm mistaking this, but doesn't this mean you need a special
extra dict entry for any column for which you want a running total? So if I
have a file with ten different fields that hold raw dollar amounts and I may
want a running total on any particular one of them, I would need ten more dict
items, one for each ?
Or am I reading this solution wrong?

Re: [U2] Running total
Kate,
This gives strange results if F1 is multi-valued so attribute 2
of the dict item needs to be: @1+SUM(F1)
Thanks,

Re: [U2] Running total
Here is what I use:
SUBROUTINE RUNNING_TOTAL(CUR.TOT, AM.PTR, AMT, RESET.DATA)
* RUNNING_TOTAL Keeps a Running Total for Reports
* by David A. Green -- 9/12/01
*
COMMON /RUNTOT/ RUNTOT.REC(10)
*
EQUATE RUNTOT.FLAG TO RUNTOT.REC(1)
EQUATE RUNTOT.TOTS TO RUNTOT.REC(2)
EQUATE RUNTOT.LAST TO RUNTOT.REC(3)
*
TEST.FLAG = @DATE:@TIME
*
IF TEST.FLAG # RUNTOT.FLAG THEN
RUNTOT.FLAG = TEST.FLAG
RUNTOT.TOTS = ""
RUNTOT.LAST = ""
END
*
IF RESET.DATA # RUNTOT.LAST THEN
RUNTOT.LAST = RESET.DATA
RUNTOT.TOTS = 0
END
*
RUNTOT.TOTS += AMT
CUR.TOT = RUNTOT.TOTS
*
RETURN
Your formula for the I-Descriptor is:
SUBR("RUNNING_TOTAL", n, Dict_Name, Reset_Dict_Name)
Where n is a unique number for the Query statement, so you can have more
than one running total per query.
Dict_Name is the Dictionary Name to use for Totalling.
Reset_Dict_Name is the Dictionary Name for 'Zeroing out' the Totals when it
changes values. If you don't wish to 'Zero out' the totals then use "".
Note: The reset option only works on presorted data!
Technical:
Running Total supports Multi-Values. For optimal performance use smaller
unique numbers like 1, 2, etc.

Re: [U2] Running total
I was on a project where out of fourteen PICK programmers two of us could fix I descriptors. (Yes I was one of the two) Just an aside I found particularly interesting. -Original Message- From: Charles Stevenson To: U2 Users List Sent: Tue, Jul 2, 2013 10:08 am Subject: Re: [U2] Running total Martin, True, you might need mv-handling subrs for mv fields. Which are always fun. (I hate to concede that correlatives might actually be better at something, but I do wish there were a way to write a variation of an I-descriptor where you could code single value logic, with the value looping implied, like *cough* correlatives do. There, I said it. It's in writing. On the internet.) But, Martin, the method does NOT fail if you have multiple I-descriptors. It did on PI, but not on UV. UV uses seperate @-buffers for each I-descriptor, insulating i-descriptors from each other. I don't think the method works on UD at all. Tongue firmly in cheek, where it still hurts from biting it praising correlatives: The downside is you can't do fancy things like pass information between I-descriptors via @-buffers like you could on PI. That kind of i-descriptor hotshot programming was excellent for job security because no one else had a hope of deciphering it. When I was young I explored the outer limits before settling on a reasonable mix of when to write a subroutine and when to do everything in native I-descriptor line 2. I wonder how long it took Lynden to undo some of that after I left? (Be gentle now, Rick.) George's remarks about presorting are spot-on. For breakpoints: @NB, & TOTAL() with keyword CALC are your friends. They should be in everyone's RetrieVe & uniQuery repertoire.

Hi,
As far as I know, the only way to do this in U2 is to use either a common

this to work for breakpoint lines is a bit more
awkward.
For example, using UniVerse's demonstration sales database (INITIALIZE.DEMO), I
can create an I-type named ACCUM that reads
I
subr('ACCUMULATE', ITEM.TOTAL)
MD2

M

and a program catalogued as ACCUMULATE
function accumulate(item)

x = ''
n = dcount(item, @vm)
for i = 1 to n
tot += item<1,i>
x<1,i> = tot

I can then do

Re: [U2] Running total
Hi,
As far as I know, the only way to do this in U2 is to use either a common
variable or one of the @USERn variables in a subroutine to
accumulate the result. Handling multi-values is not hard (as below). Getting
this to work for breakpoint lines is a bit more
awkward.
For example, using UniVerse's demonstration sales database (INITIALIZE.DEMO), I
can create an I-type named ACCUM that reads
I
subr('ACCUMULATE', ITEM.TOTAL)
MD2
Cumulative
8R
M
BOUGHT
and a program catalogued as ACCUMULATE
function accumulate(item)
common /total/tot
if @ni = 1 then tot = 0
x = ''
n = dcount(item, @vm)
for i = 1 to n
tot += item<1,i>
x<1,i> = tot
next i
return (x)
end
I can then do
LIST ORDERS PROD.NO SELL QTY ITEM.TOTAL ACCUM
@ID.. Product No Sell. Qty. Item Total Cumulative
10002 605 $40.00 1 $40.00 40.00
501 $5.00 1 $5.00 45.00
502 $5.00 1 $5.00 50.00
504 $5.00 1 $5.00 55.00
10006 112 $6.00 3 $18.00 73.00
10004 704$115.00 1 $115.00 188.00
301 $10.00 9 $90.00 278.00
10005 502 $5.00 9 $45.00 323.00
10003 202 $5.0010 $50.00 373.00
204 $5.0010 $50.00 423.00
10001 112 $6.00 7 $42.00 465.00
418 $27.00 4 $108.00 573.00
704$115.00 1 $115.00 688.00
10007 301 $10.00 3 $30.00 718.00
Maybe Rocket can be persuaded to implement the CUMULATIVE field modifier
keyword that we have in QM to make this trivial

Teach me again how to do a running total in a Access/Recall/English report.
I haven't done one in years, but I seem to recall that it's possible.

Re: [U2] Running total from UniData
Thanks, Kebbon. Why didn't I think about that?! Welcome to UD, where stupid things trip me up every day. :-) Bill Kebbon Irwin said the following on 7/24/2009 4:53 AM: I found that you had to take two steps, first an SSELECT to establish your order, followed by a LIST (or a sort with the same criteria, but it's unnecessary in Unidata, even using break-ons and det.supp's). I was able to get my daily summary of order values with running totals. LIST ORDERS BREAK.ON ORDER.DATE NUM.ORDERS TOTAL ONE TOTAL ORDER.AMT RUNNING.TOTAL.AMT DET.SUPP ID.SUPP Again, many thanks to all who responded.

Therefore, if you do a SORT the 1st item listed may have an item count of 5675, the second listed might be 352, etc. Thus, it's very hard to figure out when you're starting the list in order to initialize the named common variables.

Re: [U2] Running total from UniVerse dict: THANKS!
It works! I have been back to the manuals, and would NEVER have found it there. Talks about @n as the result of the nth compound expression, but not as @1 as the result of the previous line.

Hi Kate I believe you are looking for the @ variables to solve your problem. I think in the uv help they come under the @ in the same area as the screen commands Regards David Jordan ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
