Loading specific data from a qvd

[#1]

HI, I'm new to this, and new to scripting..

I get the functions working(I can load as per the date OR as per the ser assignment types) but not in combination.. I want to load specific assignment types after a specified date.. as below.. but its not correct.

WHERE (([BookingDate]>'2010-01-01') AND ([AssignmentType]= 3 OR [AssignmentType]= 2 OR [AssignmentType]= 4 OR [AssignmentType]= 8 OR [AssignmentType]= 6);

Hope someone can help me sort this out..

Thanks

The problem is most likely that your parentheses don't match up and that BookingDate is a date and not a string. Try this one:

WHERE [BookingDate]> makedate(2010) AND match([AssignmentType], '2','3','4','6','8')

Thank you Gysbert. It worked !

i,

Make sure than your sintax is correct. A missing coma or ending with a coma just bedore the 'FROM' clause might break your code.

I am sending you a code example than you can use... ! !

Directory;

Transactions:

Load

TransLineID,

TransID,

mod(TransID,26)+1 as Num,

Pick(Ceil(3*Rand1),'A','B','C') as Dim1,

Pick(Ceil(6*Rand1),'a','b','c','d','e','f') as Dim2,

Pick(Ceil(3*Rand()),'X','Y','Z') as Dim3,

Round(1000*Rand()*Rand()*Rand1) as Expression1,

Round( 10*Rand()*Rand()*Rand1) as Expression2,

Round(Rand()*Rand1,0.00001) as Expression3;

Load

Rand() as Rand1,

IterNo() as TransLineID,

RecNo() as TransID

Autogenerate 1000

While Rand()<=0.5 or IterNo()=1;

Store Transactions into Transactions.qvd (qvd);

DROP TABLE Transactions;

// Loading QVD

Transactions:

LOAD TransLineID,

TransID,

Num,

Dim1,

Dim2,

Dim3,

Expression1,

Expression2,

Expression3

FROM

Transactions.qvd

(qvd)

// Where clause after the FROM clause

WHERE (Dim1 = 'A' OR Dim2 = 'c') AND Dim3 <> 'C';
