Select the first process from process step on a job.

[bnelson111]

This is a difficult one to explain, here goes. Ordernumber (first column) has different steps ie more than one task, i want to only have during the load or in set analysis the first step which is identified by the prosequence (column 5 below).

ie ordernumber 168599 has two step 1250 and 1150 these number can can but the prosequence column is indexing based on process, i want to only show for 168599 below, and the first or lowest number in prosequence for each ordernumber . so each ordernumber would only show one record and that would be the lowest prosequence number for that ordernumber.

thanks in advance Brett

ordernumber	Description	StepNum	processtype	prosequence	sum(quantity)
168599	Primaflex Printer (W&H)	1150	PRT	30	9675.69

small example, bold the most important 

a:

LOAD * inline [

ordernumber,      Description,      StepNum,      processtype,      prosequence,     quantity)

168599, cobra, 1250, FIN, 50, 19175

168599, primaflex, 1150, PRT, 30, 19675

168606, aa, 1250, SLT, 40, 6169

168606, bb, 1150, PRT, 30, 6270

168653, ccc, 1250, SLT, 40, 14668

168653, ddd, 1150, PRT, 30, 14768

]

b:

NoConcatenate

load *

resident a

where peek(ordernumber) <> ordernumber

order by ordernumber, prosequence;

drop table a;

Hi,

one solution could be also:

table1:
LOAD * INLINE [
    ordernumber, Description, StepNum, processtype, prosequence
    168599, Cobra Sleever, 1250, FIN, 50
    168599, Primaflex Printer, 1150, PRT, 30
    168606, ASHE Slitter 1, 1250, SLT, 30
    168606, Miraflex 2 Printer, 1150, FIN, 40
    168606, Cobra Sleever, 1250, PRT, 20
    168606, Primaflex Printer, 1150, SLT, 50
    168653, ASHE Slitter 1, 1250, FIN, 10
    168653, Miraflex 2 Printer, 1150, SLT, 40
    168653, Primaflex Printer, 1250, PRT, 30
];

Right Join (table1)
LOAD ordernumber,
    Min(prosequence) as prosequence
Resident table1
Group By ordernumber;

hope this helps

regards

Marco
