Hi,
I have a qvd file that is updated daily that show in-transit inventory.
Now I would like to save a snapshot of the in-transit inventory every last day of a month so that I can use this to show monthly trends going forward.
Basicly what I have done is to create a field called CheckMonthEnd with this logic: If(Date(Now())=MonthEnd(Date(Now())),1,0) as CheckMonthEnd. CheckMonthEnd will have a value 1 or 0.
What I want to do now is to save the file with a date appended to the file name if CheckMonthEnd=1.
Attached is the qvd. Hope somebody could point me in the right direction.
Best regards,
Freddy
In your script, you could do a test for the end of the month (if we assume that your script runs 7 days a week), and store the resident table a second time to a different file. Like
:
STORE InTransitInventory INTO [IntransitInventory.qvd] (qvd); // Regular daily store
IF Floor(Today()) = Floor(MonthEnd(Today())) THEN
LET vFileTag = date(Today(), 'YYYYMMDD');
STORE InstransitInventory INTO [IntransitInventory_$(vFileTag).QVD] (qvd); // Special store
END IF
:
Best,

Think that you only need to advise the content of the field MaxCheckMonthEnd to the variable?
If so, please change your line 80 to:
let vCheckMonthEnd = PEEK('MaxCheckMonthEnd', 0, 'MaxMonth');

I implemented following solution:
let vSaveDate = date(today(), ‘YYYYMMDD’);
let vPeriod = MonthName(Now());
let vCheckMonthEnd = If(Date(floor(Now()))=Date(Floor(MonthEnd(Now()))),1,0);
STORE InTransit INTO \\InTransit_Daily_$(vSaveDate).qvd;
if $(vCheckMonthEnd) = 1 then
STORE InTransit INTO \\InTransit_Monthly_$(vPeriod).qvd;
end if
