I would have to challenge the concept of putting the DCOUNT as the first value and counting backwards. 99% of the time FOR..NEXT loops start at 1 and go to some end. We assume that there's a test for surpassing the second variable at each iteration of FOR. But is the first variable touched only on

We're in the midst of creating a data warehouse from our UniData databases and exploring the possibility of using Pentaho. Their ETL tool does have an entry for Universe (not Unidata), but the connection methods are JDBC, ODBC or JNDI. We don't want to create an SQL-view of Unidata merely for

Thanks Mark. It's nice to know we're not crazy (at least in this matter). Thank you to all who responded. I/we appreciate the advice, especially the use of COUNT. It's amazing how easily tunnel-vision sets in and prohibits the consideration of something like COUNT when that is exactly what infor

I don't know all of the settings within U2 vs other MV platforms but one thing that was tricky for me straddling both is the concept that items from one active list remain despite a conclusion of the use of that list. Case in point is a SSELECT statement feeding IDS to a Data/Basic report program t

I wrote this little subroutine that will accomplish this easily. You can either pass in just the file name or the file name with a much of selection criteria: SUBROUTINE HUB.COUNT.FILE (FILENAME,RCNT) CMD = 'COUNT' CMD<-1> = FILENAME SWAP @AM WITH " " IN CMD CALL SB.DISP(9,CMD)

I would actually have expected that behaviour. What is this piece of code actually try to achieve? Is READNEXT only used to test if the SELECT statement returned any items? In that case the CAPTURING clause with the EXECUTE statement would be a better tool to test that. Or you could execute CLEA

What UV account flavour? What does SR.EXECUTESQL do exactly: EXECUTE or BCI SQLExecute ? Why don't you clearselect 0, if you're not going to process the result select list? Like "READNEXT DEPENDANT.ID THEN CLEARSELECT 0 ELSE"..it seems pointless ? Or are am I missing something? -Original Me
