RE: Multiple Conditions on a DOW loop

[Bryce Martin <BMartin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How would I tell if its optimized?  Its a program compiled with 
DFTACTGRP(*NO) and running in a named activation group.  But the value 
that I see in debug corresponds to value that I get returned to my screen.

His SQL statement is changing DDYIndex.

Sometimes when code looks like it should work, but doesn't, can mean that 
it wasn't recompiled.... 

Hard to say.  I'm guessing you're debugging it.  Is it optimized so you're 
seeing a value that may not be what the program sees?

Hi Bryce,

When does the value of   shopdays(DDYIndex) change?

I don't see it anyplace.  This value is what is controlling your loop, and 

it is not changing, so you will always stay in the loop.



Thanx,

Nick

Here is the exact code.

         dow shopdays(DDYIndex) <> '' and shopdays(DDYIndex) <> 'A';
           Running_Date = Running_Date + %Days(1);
           if Running_Year <> %subdt(Running_Date:*YEARS);
      SFC_Load_Shop_Calendar(calendar:Facility:workcenter:Running_Year);
             Running_Year = %subdt(Running_Date:*YEARS);
           endif;
           Exec SQL
             Set :DDYIndex = DayOfYear(:Running_Date);
         enddo; 

It jumps in and increases Running_Date by a day when shopdays(DDYIndex) = 
'A'.

You can absolutely use multiple conditions on a DOW loop.  Are you sure 
your program matches the pseudo logic you included?

Multiple Conditions on a DOW loop






Ok Group.  I have run into an interesting problem...

I have this loop structure...

dow myVariable <> '' and myVariable <> 'A';
 // I do some stuff
// At some point myVariable could be set to '' or A or another value
// at which point we want to run the loop again.

enddo;

But when myVariable = 'A' the loop runs anyway.

Can we not put multiple conditions on a DOW loop?  Is my brain not reading 




my logic correctly today?
