If you don't want to bother with cygwin you may want to look into http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ where you can get just those tools you need and no more.

I'll try cygwin...  last time I used it (many years ago) it killed my pc! 

It's been years since I've used Reformat...   If I recall correctly, it creates new items in a new file based on the columns reported in the remainder of the reformat statement.   So, I guess I can us reformat to generate an interim "workfile" of the summary lines and then report on that...       

I'll see if I can package that up into a single command...   (I'm actually trying to get to a simple command that a non-techie front line helpdesk person can use to find errors in a file...  I may still just have to write a program to find them!).

Regards
Simon

Cygwin bare minimum install will do it for you.

 

Also, talking to John you could look at:

 

REFORMAT xxx BREAK-ON ACCT  TOTAL AMT DET.SUPP    

 

Might need ’V’ after the break on. Then use the xxx temp file to find the non zero stuff.

Good thoughts...  Can you recommend a suite of "unix" tools that I can use under Windows for this ?  

I'm a big proponent of using non-jBase tools with jBASE (which I do) -  I was hoping that I was missing something in my knowledge of jQL which might do the exclusion for me (I note another similar thread today on the  same subject).   

Thanks
Simon

Execute it in a bash script and grep –v “0\.00”

Or SORT it with the total displayed in the first column  and pipe the output to sort -rn

Or SORT it and [ipe the output to awk

 

Etc etc.

 

Don’t limit yourselves to the MV only way of doing things as that was the whole point of jBASE.

There's no iphone app that will do that? ;-)

 

Seriously, you would spool the report to a file and then post-process the file.

 Hi all

This may or may not be a stupid question.

I have a transaction file, with many thousands of entries in, which should total zero both on a daily basis (there is a date field in the file) and overall.

If I have a problem, then a check is to find which dates do not come back to zero...

So, I execute a jQL query like :

SORT TRANSACTIONS BY DATE BREAK-ON DATE "'VL'" TOTAL 2 (D)

Which produces a list like  :

              02/07/2010       0.00
              01/07/2010       0.00
              30/06/2010       0.00
              29/06/2010    -585.31
              28/06/2010       0.00
              27/06/2010       0.00
               etc etc

All I want to see though is the dates that don't come to zero....

Can this be done using jQL?

Thanks
Simon
