For...next goes beyond high limit

Mon, 31 May 2010 22:40:41 GMT

Dear All, I'm trying to create a table o records being single days out of given periods. To do so, I'm using for...next loop but get stuck with defining "TO" value in the counter. The script looks like below:

SQL SELECT StartDate, EndDate FROM db1.

LET B = EndDate - StartDate

FOR i=0 TO '$(B)'

StartDate + '(i)' AS Day

FROM db1

When I put marks to B i.e. B = 'EndDate - StartDate' the script starts off but goes beyond the high limit. Could you please help with the code?

BR, Przemek

Hi, try this script change

SQL SELECT StartDate, EndDate FROM db1.

LET B = num(EndDate - StartDate); //just in case 😉

FOR i=0 TO $(B)

Load //why you don't have a load statement if you have a From??

StartDate + $(i) AS Day

FROM db1 //where is the select/load of this from??

you can use the trace $(B), and with the option "Generate Log File" in "Document Properties", you will see the B value
