Use of qlikview generated fields

[#1]

Hi all,

I have a simple question: I want to use the fields generated by qlikview. The script below illustrates what I have done. In this case, how can I make use of [Custodian Final] further in the script? What I want to do for example is combine the new field with another field by [Custodian Final]&"_"&[Trans. code].

StarMap:

LOAD [Trans. code],

     [Security type],

     Counterparty,

Operations,

From

LEFT Join (StarMap)

LOAD Operations,

     [Custodian Final]

From

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

for example use mapping / applymap

Map:

mapping

LOAD Operations,

     [Custodian Final]

From

StarMap:

LOAD [Trans. code],

     [Security type],

     applymap('Map',Operations,'not found')&'_'&[Trans. code] as NewField

     Counterparty,

Operations,

From

If there are more fields from the second table you have to reload the StarMap table:

StarMap2:

load

*,

[Custodian Final]&"_"&[Trans. code] as NewField1,

.... as NewField2 and so on

Thank you for the prompt reply.

However, I can't get StarMap2 to display. I am sure I am doing something wrong. Below is the script I am using. It is different from the example I have shown you before. In this example I can derive from the model portfolio or model portfolio code whether something is internal or external. In the end I want to combine the field [Code intern/extern] with the created fields [intern/extern 2] and [intern/extern 3].

Map:

mapping

LOAD [Model portfolio code],

     [intern/extern 2]

FROM

,

     [intern/extern 3]

FROM

,

     [Model portfolio],

     [Model portfolio name],

     [Model portfolio code],

     [Code intern/extern],

     [Reconciliation ID],

     applymap('Map',[Model portfolio code],'not found')&'_'&[Trans. code] as InternExtern,

     applymap('Map2',[Model portfolio],'not found')&'_'&[Trans. code] as InternExtern2

FROM

&"_"&InternExtern&"_"&InternExtern2 as InternExtern3

;

I missed something in my script (and you too)

StarMap2:

load

*,

[Code intern/extern]&"_"&InternExtern&"_"&InternExtern2 as InternExtern3

resident StarMap

;

drop table StarMap;

Hi,

I get the following error:

Field not found - <_>

StarMap2:

load

*,

[Code intern/extern]&"_"&InternExtern&"_"&InternExtern2 as InternExtern3

resident StarMap

My script now looks like the following:

Map:

mapping

LOAD [Model portfolio code],

     [intern/extern 2]

FROM

,

     [intern/extern 3]

FROM

,

     [Trans. code],

     [Security No.],

     [Security type],

     Counterparty,

     Custodian,

     [Settlement date],

     [Changed  by user],

     [Changed date],

     [Created by user],

     [Created date],

     Portfolio,

     [Model portfolio],

     [Model portfolio name],

     [Model portfolio code],

     Custody,

     [Custody account],

     Currency,

     Nominal,

     [Instrument type],

     [Transaction cancellation flag],

     [Bank account],

     Operations,

     [Code intern/extern],

     [Reconciliation ID],

     applymap('Map',[Model portfolio code],'not found')&'_'&[Trans. code] as InternExtern,

     applymap('Map2',[Model portfolio],'not found')&'_'&[Trans. code] as InternExtern2

FROM

&"_"&InternExtern&"_"&InternExtern2 as InternExtern3

resident StarMap

;

drop table StarMap;

Don't use &"_"&

but &'_'&

It works! Thank you very much for your help!
