Help needed for writing Qlikview Script..

[#1]

Hi All,

I need help for writing Qlikview script. My Qlikview application requires 2 years data. e.g., for 2013 current year, it required data from 2011 and 2012.

When it will be new year i.e., 01/01/2014 I will be no longer using data for 2011

I am stroing data in Qvds like below

Jan_2011.qvd

Feb_2011.qvd

Mar_2011.qvd

and so on......

Please help me to write a script, if today's date is year start then deleteall qvds for year=year(Today())-3. Else keep all qvds.

Thanks in Advance..!!

Hi   try to find the maxdate from the qvd  using resident load

then load all the qvd data and add a filter condition

like where Date= YearStart(AddYears(vMaxDate,-2))

i wany to delet qvds which is not requied..there are aroung 36 qvds.

Can you pl provide me script. My requirement is

IF Date(Today())=YearStart(Today())

Delete all qvds where qvd name contains Year(Today())-3

IF YEARSTART(today())=01/01/2014 then delete all qvds for 2011

Hi  deleting means first it will load the data then it will delete all the qvds.

i would suggest that after loading  from the qvds try to move to different folder that can be done in the script

At last add the command Execute cmd.exe/c  move " Source Directory" "Destination Directory"

if u want to delte  use DEL command instead of move

Shree,

We are not creating qvd daily for single month qvd it takes 2 hrs. we have huge data. We are having incremental load process. In qlikview application I am not loading data fron qvds which qre having 3 or more than 3 yrs data.

for 2013 i need only 2012 and 2011 qvds.

When it will be 2014 i will use 2013 and 2012 qvds. I need to delete 2011 qvds when i move to 2014.

Qvd names are like 'Month_Year'.qvd(i.e., Jan_2011

)

Every month has seprate qvd

Hope you understand my requirement

If today's date is year start

If today()='01/01/2013'

Delete all qvd(name containing year 2010 )

Else

Do not delete anything
