Ok....this leaves remedy space...and is entirely theoretical...but should theoretically work...:)...and you didn't give a whole lot of information about what your wanting to do with the data once you have it...so YMMV create a stored procedure that will first drop (if it exists) and then create a db view of your ticket table that has a query along the lines of select top N request_id from <form view> order by requestid desc where N is a variable passed into the stored procedure. Now create a Remedy view form that points to that DB view....setup the stored procedure to execute on button press (or whatever trigger you want) and you now have access to do whatever you want with your data...one caveat of this is that it is not 'thread safe'...in that if you have two users pressing that button with different values for N....your screwed....and Remedy expects that the view that your pointing at will be available at any time it wants...so the moments between drop and re-create if the data is accessed in the Remedy View form...you will get a DB error... that is one possible way to get done what your looking for....it may not work for you depending on your requirements....but maybe it will spark interest or other ideas
_____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Crosby Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 8:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Ticket Query (part deux) ** Hello, I posted this question before and it did not elicit any responses. Therefore, I asked BMC support and the response I received was, "I am sorry I just dont know of a way you can limit the returned entires." (punctuation and spelling errors left intact). The question was: How would I go about querying the last "N" tickets? Meaning, I'd like to create a macro (or know the syntax) with a variable ("N") to pull up just the last 10, 20, 50, 100 , etc. records recently created. Can anyone help answer if this is do-able or not?
