How do you validate number of records imported against the data source record count?

[Anonymous]

All,

I'm having some difficulty in validating the number of records I have imported into a .QVW against a count of the records from the data source.

Here is what I have so far:

RecordTotal:

LOAD

     RowCtr;

SELECT COUNT(*) AS RowCtr

FROM "testdb".dbo."test_table";

ImportedRecords:

LOAD

     FieldA,

     FieldB,

     FieldC,

     FieldD;

SQL SELECT

     FieldA,

     FieldB,

     FieldC,

     FieldD

FROM "testdb".dbo."test_table";

Let vSQLRecordCt = RowCtr;

Let vQVRecordCt = NoOfRows('ImportedReocrds')

If $(vSQLRecordCt) = $(vQVRecordCt) Then

     Set vRecordCtValidation = 'Imported vs data source record counts match - extract process complete.';

Else

     Set vRecordCtValidation = 'Imported vs data source record counts do not match - Admin attention is required.';

End If

Trace $(vRecordCtValidation)

It seems that my code is having a problem debugging at the If.. Then.. statement.  I have tried a bunch of different combinations to try to feed to a variable the SELECT COUNT(*) result, but can't seem to find the proper way to do it.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Let vSQLRecordCt = peek('RowCtr');

this works, adapt to your requirement

RecordTotal:

load

  100 as RowCtr

autogenerate 1;

ImportedRecords:

load

  'aaa' as Dim1,

  'bbb'as Dim2

autogenerate 100;

//autogenerate 99;

Let vSQLRecordCt = peek('RowCtr',0,'RecordTotal');

Let vQVRecordCt = NoOfRows('ImportedRecords');

if $(vSQLRecordCt) = $(vQVRecordCt) Then

    Set vRecordCtValidation = 'Imported vs data source record counts match - extract process complete.';

Else

    Set vRecordCtValidation = 'Imported vs data source record counts do not match - Admin attention is required.';

ENDIF;

Trace $(vRecordCtValidation);

Thanks so much everyone.  I had forgotten that I can't arbitrarily assign a variable to a fieldname, but need to use the Peek function to do so.
