  22. Reporting

  23. Reporting • Conditional page headings and footings • HOLD into an APP folder • MORE • FILEDEF with wildcards

  24. Reporting – Conditional page headings and footings • Control HEADING and FOOTING with WHEN TABLE FILE GGSALES HEADING "Heading for Midwest" WHEN REGION EQ 'Midwest'; HEADING "Standard Heading" WHEN REGION NE 'Midwest'; SUM DOLLARS BY REGION PAGE-BREAK END

  25. Reporting – HOLD into an APP folder • APP HOLD appname • ON TABLE HOLD AS appname/filename • Data and MFD written to temp Default TABLE FILE CAR SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR ON TABLE HOLD AS HSALES END

  26. Reporting – HOLD into an APP folder • APP HOLD appname • Puts hsales.ftm AND hsales.mas into the summit app folder • APP HOLDMETA appname just holds .mas • APP HOLDDATA appname just holds .ftm APP HOLD summit TABLE FILE CAR SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR ON TABLE HOLD AS HSALES END

  27. Reporting – Hold Files • ON TABLE HOLD directly to an app folder • HOLD AS app/filename • Puts hsales.mas and hsales.ftm into the summit app folder • Includes DATASET attribute in .mas TABLE FILE CAR SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR ON TABLE HOLD AS summit/HSALES END FILENAME=HSALES, SUFFIX=FIX, DATASET=summit/hsales.ftm ,$

  28. Reporting – MORE • Universal concatenation • Enables concatenation of like Internal Matrix DEFINE FILE CAR DOLLARS/I8=SALES; REGION/A11=COUNTRY; END GGSALES TABLE FILE filename SUM DOLLARS BY REGION END CAR

  29. Reporting – MORE • Use the same report for both files • Internal Matrix concatenated before output generated DEFINE FILE CAR DOLLARS/I8=SALES; REGION/A11=COUNTRY; END TABLE FILE GGSALES SUM DOLLARS BY REGION MORE FILE CAR END

  30. Reporting – MORE • Can independently filter on each file • All other formatting and styling goes with main TABLE FILE • Now supported in Report Painter TABLE FILE GGSALES SUM DOLLARS BY REGION IF REGION EQ ‘Midwest’ ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL MORE FILE CAR IF COUNTRY EQ ‘ENGLAND’ OR ‘JAPAN’ END

  31. Reporting – Filedef with wildcards • Enables concatenation of like flat files h_cty_england.ftm h_cty_japan.ftm

  32. Reporting – Filedef with wildcards • Could use MORE to concatenate them TABLE FILE H_CTY_ENGLAND SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR MORE FILE H_CTY_JAPAN END

  33. Reporting – Filedef with wildcards • Not only same Internal Matrix, but same file structure • Filedef with a wildcard APP FI H_CTY DISK summit/h_cty*.ftm TABLE FILE H_CTY SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR END h_cty_england h_cty_japan

  34. Synonyms (Master Files and Access Files)

  35. Synonyms • FILEDEF with wildcards • MFD Profiles • CHECK FILE • -READFILE

  36. Synonyms – Filedef with wildcards • Works on DATASET attribute in synonym FILENAME=H_CTY ,SUFFIX=FIX ,DATASET=summit/h_cty*.ftm ,$ SEGMENT=H_CTY ,SEGTYPE=S2, $ FIELDNAME=COUNTRY ,ALIAS=E01 ,USAGE=A10 ,ACTUAL=A12 ,$ FIELDNAME=CAR ,ALIAS=E02 ,USAGE=A16 ,ACTUAL=A16 ,$ FIELDNAME=SALES ,ALIAS=E03 ,USAGE=I6 ,ACTUAL=I04 ,$ h_cty_england h_cty_japan

  37. Synonyms – MFD Profiles • Defines a profile to run when the MFD is accessed • MFD_PFOFILE = appname/profile • ggfilter.fex FILENAME=GGSALES, SUFFIX=FOC, MFD_PROFILE=summit/ggfilter FILTER FILE GGSALES NAME = REGION WHERE REGION EQ 'Midwest'; END SET FILTER = REGION IN GGSALES ON

  38. Synonyms – MFD Profiles • Profile runs first • ggfilter turns on FILTER TABLE FILE GGSALES SUM DOLLARS BY REGION BY PRODUCT END

  39. Synonyms – CHECK FILE • Syntax check of MFD/AFD • Provides vital statistics of the synonym • CHECK FILE synonym [HOLD] NUMBER OF ERRORS= 0 NUMBER OF SEGMENTS= n ( REAL= n VIRTUAL= n ) NUMBER OF FIELDS= n INDEXES= n FILES= n NUMBER OF DEFINES= n TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL FIELDS= n

  40. Synonyms – CHECK FILE CHECK FILE EMPLOYEE • Creates a hold file and mfd with key components of the original synonym • Field names • Formats • etc. CHECK FILE EMPLOYEE HOLD

  41. Synonyms – ?FF • Shows all the fields in an MFD ?FF GGSALES FILENAME= GGSALES SEQ_NO SEQ I5 CATEGORY E02 A11 PCD E03 A04 PRODUCT E04 A16 REGION E05 A11 ST E06 A02 CITY E07 A20 STCD E08 A05 DATE E09 I8YYMD UNITS E10 I08 DOLLARS E11 I08 BUDUNITS E12 I08 BUDDOLLARS E13 I08

  42. Dialogue Manager

  43. Dialogue Manager • -READFILE • Date format support • NOCLOSE • Immediate execution following a label

  44. Dialogue Manager – -READFILE • Reads a synonym and gives you & variables for all fields in an MFD • Traditional technique: TABLE FILE CAR SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR ON TABLE HOLD AS HSALES END -RUN -SET &CARS=&RECORDS; -REPEAT LOOP_SALES FOR &I FROM 1 TO &CARS -READ HSALES &COUNTRY.A15. &CAR.A15. &CAR.A11. -LOOP_SALES

  45. Dialogue Manager – -READFILE • Using –READFILE • Creates &COUNTRY, &CAR, &SALES TABLE FILE CAR SUM SALES BY COUNTRY BY CAR ON TABLE HOLD AS HSALES END -RUN -SET &CARS=&RECORDS; -REPEAT LOOP_SALES FOR &I FROM 1 TO &CARS -READFILE HSALES

  46. Dialogue Manager – Date format support • DM recognizes date literals • Enables direct calculations using date & variables -SET &START = 'JUN 3 2012' ; -SET &END = '2012 7 JUN' ; -SET &DAYS = (&END - &START) + 1 ; -TYPE Summit is &DAYS days long. Summit is 5 days long.

  47. Dialogue Manager – Date display formats • &DATEfmt – displays current date in selected format • &DATXfmt – truncates display value -TYPE &DATEYYMD -TYPE &DATEMDYY -TYPE &DATEMtrDYY 2012/06/0306/03/2012 June 3, 2012 -TYPE &DATEMtrDYY is the current date June 3, 2012 is the current date -TYPE &DATXMtrDYY is the current date June 3, 2012 is the current date

  48. Dialogue Manager – NOCLOSE • Enables file to processed with –READ and –WRITEwithout closing on a –RUN hcountry.ftm No -RUN -REPEAT READ_LOOP 5 TIMES -READ HCOUNTRY &COUNTRY.A10. -TYPE &COUNTRY -READ_LOOP

  49. Dialogue Manager – NOCLOSE With -RUN -REPEAT READ_LOOP 5 TIMES -READ HCOUNTRY &COUNTRY.A10. -TYPE &COUNTRY -RUN -READ_LOOP -RUN closes hcountry

  50. Dialogue Manager – NOCLOSE Using NOCLOSE -REPEAT READ_LOOP 5 TIMES -READ HCOUNTRY NOCLOSE &COUNTRY.A10. -TYPE &COUNTRY -RUN -READ_LOOP hcountry does not close
