Resident LOAD from 2 other tables

Hello everyone,

So I need to use data from 2 different tables to calculate fields in a third table. Let's say my data is something like this:

tblOne:
LOAD
Data1
FROM ...;

tblTwo:
LOAD
Data2
FROM ...;

Browsing the forum, I came up with something like this to use these 2 fields (Data1 and Data2) to calculate a third one.

tblTempo:
LOAD Data1 FROM tblOne;
Join(tblTempo) LOAD Data2 FROM tblTwo;

tblThree:
LOAD
Data1 + Data2 as Data3
RESIDENT tblTempo;

DROP TABLE tblTempo;

Currently, I get the error "No qualified path for file: ***" on my "LOAD Data1 FROM tblOne" line. I'm guessing this has something to do with how I refer to my tblOne.

Does anyone have a clue as to how I should proceed to solve this issue?

Thank you guys very much,

LesJean

try this:

 

tblOne:
Load * Inline [
Data1
1
2
3
];

tblTwo:
Load * Inline [
Data2
1
2
3
];

Store tblOne into tblOne.qvd(qvd);
Drop table tblOne;

Store tblTwo into tblTwo.qvd(qvd);
Drop table tblTwo;

 

tblTempo:
LOAD Data1
FROM tblOne.qvd(qvd);

Join(tblTempo)

LOAD Data2
FROM tblTwo.qvd(qvd);

final_table:

LOAD *,
Data1 + Data2 as Data3
resident tblTempo;

 

DROP TABLE tblTempo;

exit script;

Thanks to both of you,

Marcos, your solution seems to be working for me, but I was wondering, since this will be run daily, I need to make sure to not accumulate data. Is there anyway to delete the .qvd files created during the process in the code?

Thank you,

LesJean
