HI QlikView Masters,
I have following code as:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NavSalesCrMemoHeader:
LOAD *;
SQL SELECT *
FROM Navision3Dummy.dbo." Col Pvt_ Ltd_$Sales Cr_Memo Header" ;
Nav4SalesCrMemoHeader:
LOAD *;
SQL SELECT *
FROM Navision4.dbo."Col Private Limited$Sales Cr_Memo Header" ;
concatenate
SQL SELECT *
FROM Navision4.dbo."Luxury Fashion Pvt Ltd$Sales Cr_Memo Header";
SalesCrMemoHeaderSP3:
Load *, '' as junk;
SQL SELECT *
FROM SP3HF2.dbo."Col Trading LLC$Sales Cr_Memo Header";
SalesCrMemoHeader:
Load *,'' as j12,'Navision3.7dummy' as Database
Resident NavSalesCrMemoHeader;
Concatenate
Load *,'' as j13,'Navision4' as Database
Resident Nav4SalesCrMemoHeader;
concatenate
Load *,
'SP3HF2' as Database
resident SalesCrMemoHeaderSP3;
drop field junk;
Why Junk, J12 , J13 are being loaded hear?
Hello,
Junk is being dropped in your last sentence so it should not appear.
J12 and J13 are loaded because you are explicitly concatenating the tables and those fields will then remain in the SAlesCrMemoHeader table.
HI SALTO,
Exactly what i am asking for is, "Why JUNK, J12, J13 " are needed in this code.
what benefit do we get from them.
Is there any logical reason of using them.
Hi,
They do not seem to give you any information, do they? It seems that for any reason they are being used so QlikView does not concatenate tables with the same fields (it can be done with noconcatenate ) but this is just a supposition.
I would not even use them, if you want to have all CrMemoHeaders ina single table there is no need to use such junk fields. Try removing them:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NavSalesCrMemoHeader:
LOAD *;
SQL SELECT *
FROM Navision3Dummy.dbo." Col Pvt_ Ltd_$Sales Cr_Memo Header" ;
Nav4SalesCrMemoHeader:
LOAD *;
SQL SELECT *
FROM Navision4.dbo."Col Private Limited$Sales Cr_Memo Header" ;
concatenate
SQL SELECT *
FROM Navision4.dbo."Luxury Fashion Pvt Ltd$Sales Cr_Memo Header";
SalesCrMemoHeaderSP3:
Load *,
SQL SELECT *
FROM SP3HF2.dbo."Col Trading LLC$Sales Cr_Memo Header";
SalesCrMemoHeader:
Load *,
'Navision3.7dummy' as Database
Resident NavSalesCrMemoHeader;
Concatenate
Load *,
'Navision4' as Database
Resident Nav4SalesCrMemoHeader;
concatenate
Load *,
'SP3HF2' as Database
resident SalesCrMemoHeaderSP3;
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I think the tables Navision4.dbo."Luxury Fashion Pvt Ltd$Sales Cr_Memo Header" and SP3HF2.dbo."Col Trading LLC$Sales Cr_Memo Header" having exactly the same columns, if so then the two tables merged into one. To prevent this Junk column is adding in one of the table. Instead of adding additional columns we can also use NoConctenate option, check for help in Qlikview help file.
j13, j12 are used as flags to differentiate from which data source this records are loaded.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Jagan.
