how can we get table name using  field value.

[Anonymous]

Could you please clarify what you mean, preferably with an example?

If assume you're asking about the Window Title (caption) of the table - you can use something like

=Field

But it will work only if one value of the field is selected.

He refers to the Name of a table in the script isnt it?

System1

ServiceName	Installation Date	Expiry Date
Abc	1/1/2011	1/1/2012
xyz	2/2/2011	2/2/2013
pQR	1/4/2011	12/5/2011
MNC	2/2/2012	1/4/2013
bcD	3/3/2014	1/1/2015

System 2

ServiceName	StartDate	EndDate
aBc	2/2/2011	5/5/2011
Mno	3/3/2000	12/5/2000
SPr	1/2/2009	1/2/2010
PqR	5/5/2011	6/6/2011
Bcd	2/4/2014	12/12/2015
mNC	3/3/2012	5/5/2012

I want to merge these two tables based on service Name field without using upper function.

Then we have to add new field named Status it should filed with table name based on service name

Ex:

Service Name	installationsate	expiry date	start date	stopdate	status
bcD	3/3/2014	1/1/2015	2/4/2014	12/12/2015	both
xyz	2/2/2011	2/2/2013	null	null	System1

Load the tables in this way

System1:

Load

ServiceName,

InstallationDate,

ExpiryDate,

'System1' as Status

and

System2:

ServiceName,

StartDate,

EndDate,

'System2' as Status

and after that in the Status make it a derived field with expression.

=if(count(Status)>1, 'both', Status)

Clear enough now.
Join both table into one, and create additional fields of ServiceName.  Later, use them as flags to find where they came from.  Maybe like this:

Table:
LOAD DISTINCT
ServiceName,
ServiceName as SN1,
InstallationDate,
ExpiryDate
FROM System1;

OUTER JOIN (Table) LOAD DISTINCT
ServiceName,
ServiceName as SN2,
StartDate,
EndDate
FROM System2;

Result:
LOAD DISTINCT
ServiceName,
InstallationDate,
ExpiryDate,
StartDate,
EndDate
if(SN1=SN2, 'both', if(ServiceName=SN1, 'System1', 'System2')) as status
RESIDENT Table;

DROP TABLE Table;

bcD & Bcd is different.... without using UPPER or LOWER function, how can we concatenate... Field name should be matching...

[Anonymous]

Correct, if not use upper or lower, they will be regarded as two separate values.  Which they are.

[MK_QSL]

but the result table shown in the question tell different story !!

How can we get...

Service Name	installationsate	expiry date	start date	stopdate	status
bcD	3/3/2014	1/1/2015	2/4/2014	12/12/2015	both

There are two questions here.

1. Can we Show service name without using upper/lower?  The answer is yes.  We can have an additional field just for presentation, without upper, and use upper for all other copies of the field.

2. Decide what to show, bcD or BCd.  I don't know.  I only can tell that it can't be both.
