Well noted. Lesson learned. ~Claudine From: rbase-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bruce Chitiea Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2017 11:19 AM To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com Subject: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Version 10 - dotted vs. ampersand variables
FWIW: As an APL programmer back in the day, I learned that short and symbolic came at a steep price in clarity. So I strive to take full advantage of R:BASE's practically-unlimited object naming ability to make just about everything I can "self-documenting". Yes, that makes for more typing up front; but coming back to troubleshoot code is no longer the terror it used to be.

And what a beautiful thing it is when code works as expected! One problem remains however, on the last field loaded I get an error 122 that LOADLADING needs to be TEXT. Except for vamt which is currency, the variables and the temp table column are text so I’m stumped. This is my code: SET VAR vValue TEXT SET VAR vValue = ('.VDTG'+(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) SET VAR vValue = (.vValue + ',' + ('.Vcar'+(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) ) SET VAR vValue = (.vValue + ',' + ('.Vwb'+(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) ) SET VAR vValue = (.vValue + ',' + ('.Vamt'+(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) ) SET VAR vValue = (.vValue + ',' + ('.Vorigin'+(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) ) SET VAR vValue = (.vValue + ',' + ('.Vdestin'+(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) ) SET VAR vValue = (.vValue + ',' + ('.Vlading' +(CTXT(.VCOUNT))) ) INSERT INTO comparecontrast (LOADDTGSPLIT,LOADCARNAME,LOADWB,CARAMT,LOADORIGIN,LOADDESTIN,LOADLADING) VALUES &vValue vValue = .VDTG1,.Vcar1,.Vwb1,.Vamt1,.Vo TEXT rigin1,.Vdestin1,.Vlading1 Vlad1 = LOAD FROM SEABOARD-CORPUS: TEXT [1] 5-1/8" X 15 MANUAL VALVE, BOLTS, RING GASKETS *** -----Original Message----- From: rbase-l@googlegroups.com<mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com> [mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Claudine Robbins Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2017 10:39 PM To: rbase-l@googlegroups.com<mailto:rbase-l@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Version 10 - dotted vs. ampersand variables Razzak, Well I can't wait to try it tomorrow!

You will have to create an additional variable to build the string which is the "values" part of the insert. When you finally go to use that variable, use the "&" prefix instead of the "." prefix. Here is the key part of an example from one of my application ... -- Predefined variables and logic is defined here ... SET VAR vValue TEXT WHILE vWorkingOn <> vLFNFileCount THEN SET VAR vWorkingOn = (.vWorkingOn + 1) SELECT (MAX(External_File_ID)+1) INTO vExternal_File_ID INDIC iv1 FROM External_Files -- Build the string with needed file names set var vValue = ('(' + '.vExternal_File_ID') set var vValue = (.vValue + ',' + '.vLFNFileNameS' + CTXT(.vWorkingOn)) set var vValue = (.vValue + ',' + '.vLFNFileExt'+(CTXT(.vWorkingOn))) set var vValue = (.vValue + ',' + '.vLFNFileDateTime'+(CTXT(.vWorkingOn))) set var vValue = (.vValue + ',' + '.vLFNFileSize'+(CTXT(.vWorkingOn))) set var vValue = (.vValue + ',' + '.vLFNFilePath'+(CTXT(.vWorkingOn)) + ')') -- Now use this string for the value part of the insert INSERT INTO External_Files + (External_File_ID, + External_File_Name, + External_File_Extension, + External_File_DateTime, + External_File_Size, + External_File_Original_Path) + VALUES + &vValue ENDWHILE RETURN Hope that helps!
