Export all qvw's field names qualified without using Qualify in the script...

Hi experts,

I want to export the qualified field names (Table.Field) of one given application, but its script doesn't have the Qualify * command in it, hence the export option gives me only one file with all the Fields and other with all the Tables.

Is there a parameter to do that within the Document ? Any workaround suggested ?

Thank you in advance by the attention,

Best regards,

Marcos

Hi Marcos,

THe following code gets the field name and tables associated with it.

Just add a table with the both generated fields of the new table and export it. THe names are "qualified" by table name.

X:

load * Inline

[

Prestador,Internações, Partos

AAA, 4,1

BBB, 5, 4

CCC, 5, 3

DDD, 6, 2

];

Y:

Load * Inline

[

FieldA,FieldB

1,2

3,4

];

for i = 0 to NoOfTables()-1

let vTest = TableName(i);

for j = 1 to NoOfFields('$(vTest)')

tableNameFields:

Load

'$(vTest)' as [Table Name],

'$(vTest).' & FieldName($(j),'$(vTest)') as [Field Name]

AutoGenerate(1);

next j;

next i;

Result:

Hi Felip,

Thank you for your contribution, it helped me a lot.

In fact, a friend of mine today did come up with a simpler solution: generate an object Table wih the fields $Table and $Field, in the Document to reverse engineer, then export to a txt/csv file.

That might be the case, but unless you qualify the table, you'll have to make the transformation outside.

It's another way to do it too.

Open the document from which you want to export all fields in a "qualified" format in QV Desktop.

Add a listbox using New Sheet Object->List Box..., but instead of selecting a field to display, you navigate to the bottom of the field list and select <Expression>. An expression editor window will pop-up. Enter something like the following expression (vary the layout according to your requirements):

='[' & $Table & '.' & $Field & ']'

Close the properties dialog. A listbox with qualified field names will be shown on your sheet. From the Listbox right-mouse-button-menu, select Send to Excel...

Tada !
