I'm way back on 85.h. I have never CIM loaded anything. I'm getting confused by the papers I'm reading from QAD. Can anyone instruct me in simple language how to take data like: (text file obviously) 40005 FDS 40006 FDS 40007 CPD ...ect. and put it into pt_mstr (the FDS/CPD stuff goes in the...

thank you. I will look at this.

If I'm doing a FOR EACH thru a table that has a locked record (by a user) is there any way to either look at it only or skip it and move on? ( I can't access the program that is locking the record)

I really think that might have helped some. thanks. Looking for any other "little known" tips if they're out there. ??

This is very basic but so am I. I have a table "A" with 100,000 header records. The detail table "B" has 350,000 detail records. I'm looking for all records (headers and detail) with "datafield" >= yesterday. My script: for each A where A_date >= (today - 1) no-lock: for each B...

This code delivers a text file but all records are strung out in 1 long string. How do I get them to be on separate lines? if last-of(sod_due_date) then do : export stream outer delimiter "," sod_due_date starttot runtot...

Never mind...figured it out I found it... apply "F4" to (frame name).

Excellent: Simon Sweetman, thank you for your guidance. Will be hoping to talk to you again!

I know you will cringe at my code stucture by its part-time and I'm trying.. The following works well, but I need it to repeat at the end and go back to the top for another item input, unless F4 is pressed. Can someone help show me how I might accomplish this. Note the statements at the top...

Good Stuff Simon Sweetman: I thank you for your effort. Will give that a go. Bob

I have a TEMP-TABLE with 5 records in it. Each record has 3 fields. The records show like this when I run a FOR EACH on the table: 10/7/04 Bill N-12345 10/8/04 Mary N-54321 10/10/04 Ted N-65456 10/12/04 Mark N-55668 10/15/04 Sue N-54390...

your thread suggestion doesn't work ..? is it correct ?

In my character develpment environment, I need to direct the printer output to the default printer on the user's system (Windows). Now, I can only accomodate printers on my system using the command: OUTPUT stream printer Through lp -d VALUE(dfile) paged. Is there a command that will...

ping ... anyone?
