May i know how to make use of Loop command and load 100 raw data set ?

Hi All

I have 100 company raw data.

Each of the company i need to load the below script :-

ARSummary:

LOAD left(FileBaseName(), 4) AS Report5_pay,

  'company_1' as SOURCE,       // This will help to filter company_1 to company_100

  @1:9T as [cust_id],

  @10:38T as [company_pay],

  if(right(@81:99T,1)='-', '-' & left(@81:99T, len(@81:99T)-1),@81:99T) as curren

FROM $(vRAWPath)$(vFile1) (ansi, fix, no labels, header is 0, record is line);     // File1 refer to company_1 raw data till file100 refer to company_100

Instead of i need to repear write the script 100 time. May i know how to make use of Loop command and load 100 raw data set ?

This will make maintenance easy.

Hope some one can advise me how to do it ?

I would use something like the following:

For each vFileName in FileList('$(vRAWPath)\*.txt')

ARSummary:

LOAD left(FileBaseName(), 4) AS Report5_pay,

  FileBaseName() as SOURCE,

  @1:9T as [cust_id],

  @10:38T as [company_pay],

  if(right(@81:99T,1)='-', '-' & left(@81:99T, len(@81:99T)-1),@81:99T) as curren

FROM "$(vFileName)" (ansi, fix, no labels, header is 0, record is line);  

Next vFileName
