RE: Query> if then else in queries.

["Jonathan Mason" <jonathan.mason@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marco

To generate the cross reference file you could use SQL's CREATE statement -
something along the following:

	CREATE TABLE QGPL/XREF (FROMCODE CHAR (1 ) FOR SBCS DATA NOT NULL
	WITH DEFAULT, TOCODE CHAR (1 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT)

And then use the INSERT command to load the records:

	INSERT INTO QGPL/XREF VALUES('*', '1')

	INSERT INTO QGPL/XREF VALUES(' ', 'N')

Alternatively you could create a DDS member for the member and use the CRTPF
command to create the file and UPDDTA to insert the records:

	A          R XREFR            
	A            FROMCODE       1 
	A            TOCODE         1

	CRTPF FILE(QTEMP/XREF) SRCFILE(EXAMPLES/QDDSSRC) SRCMBR(XREF)  

	UPDDTA FILE(QGPL/XREF)

All the best

Jonathan

Hi Marco

 

Create a second file to be used as a cross reference.  It should just
have

two fields on each record, a FROMCODE and a TOCODE.  Use DFU to add two

records to the file, one with a FROMCODE = '*' and a TOCODE = '1' and

another with a FROMCODE = ' ' and a TOCODE = 'N'.

 

In your query join file RECEIVED to this new cross reference file using

FROMCODE and the original code field from file RECEIVED as the join key.

Select field TOCODE for output in your report.

 

Hope it helps

 

Jonathan

Hello,

 

I need your help once again.

 

I have to create a query, but in that in that query I have to create a

new field.

 

The condition is: in filed RECEIVED If I have this * I want that appears

1 (can be a digit and not a number) if the field is blank or has nothing

I want to appear N

 

 

 

Example:

 

 *=1

 

'blank'=N

 

 

 

'blank' means that the field has nothing on it.

 

 

 

Is it possible?

 

Best Regards,

Marco
