RE: [UD] Union Query
Indeed. One of the great things about UniVerse and UniData is that you can use SQL against your files. SQL is a great way to do quick updates too (carefull, it is a very sharp knife). If you don't have a good SQL book, get one. I have the advantage of being required to support a couple of Micro$oft SQL servers along with the UniVerse machines. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Wallis Sent: Saturday, May 01, 2004 3:15 AM To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' Subject: RE: [UD] Union Query Gordon J.

Re: [UD] Union Query
No, and Yes. Just doing a SELECT in SQL style on UV gives you a crt display of the result set. But if you use the SLIST extension, you can then access the select list (see System Description manual) as normal for the UV environment. -- Regards, Clif ~~~ W.

RE: [UD] Union Query
My suggestion is to create a V type dictionary item(s) that with point to your other
file.
For example, if you want to look at the city name in your file, ORDER.FILE.OTHER,
create the following:
001: V
002: TRANS('ORDER.FILE.OTHER', @ID, location of city in ORDER.FILE.OTHER', 'X')
003:
004: City (ORDER.FILE.OTHER)
005: 30L
006: S
Also, I recommend that you check out the capabilities of TRANS. There are other
return codes.

What I have done in the past is concatenate the 2 translates together. One
trans being blank and the other having valid data. You need to make a whole
set of dicts that do the double-reads in one file-dict or the other. Then,
use it as your primary file for the listing. The only problem is when the
data exists in both files. But at least then you will get twice the data. It
stands out pretty well if you want to spot problems.

Hi Ed,
You could test for the record existing in one file and if it does use the
dict for that file otherwise use the dict for the other file:
TRANS(FILE.A,ID,1,X); IF @1 '' THEN FILEA.NAME ELSE FILEB.NAME
where FILEA.NAME returns the name from FILE.A and FILEB.NAME returns the
name for FILE.B
this is all off the top of my head, but it should work.

RE: Memo: RE: [UD] Union Query
In the dict of FILE.A create a dict called: NAME.LO that has:
TRANS(LOCAL,ID,1,X):TRANS(OTHER,ID,1,X)
What you get is a boolean result by sticking the two TRANS against each
other.
Let's look an example. Assume that the 6 records have the following names:
LOCAL.1 = Smith
LOCAL.2 = Jones
LOCAL.3 = Barney
OTHER.1= Green
OTHER.2= Brown
OTHER.3= Jones
If you LIST LOCAL NAME NAME.LO you should see the following:
FILE.A... NAME... NAME.LO.
LOCAL.1 Smith Smith
LOCAL.2 Jones Jones
LOCAL.3 BarneyBarney
OTHER.1 Green
OTHER.2 Brown
OTHER.3 Jones
This is because the NAME.LO dict doesn't care where it is residing. It just
gets the direction to retrieve the contents of attribute 1 from the LOCAL
and OTHER files. In fact, to keep the confusion (and clutter) to a minimum
you could put the dict into a work file dictionary and do:
LIST FILE.A USING DICT WORK NAME.LO
When I mentioned the data being in both files I meant having the same key.
e.g. LOCAL.3 existing in both LOCAL and OTHER files. Does that make sense?

R. Bruce,
Could you give an example? I'm having trouble envisioning this.
Let's say I have these keys in a list:
LOCAL.1
LOCAL.2
LOCAL.3
OTHER.1
OTHER.2
OTHER.3
The first 3 live in FILEA and the last 3 live in FILEB
If I go a GET-LIST, then enter:
LIST FILEA NAME
What would the NAME dictionary look like?
Thanks.

What I have done in the past is concatenate the 2 translates together. One
trans being blank and the other having valid data. You need to make a whole
set of dicts that do the double-reads in one file-dict or the other. Then,
use it as your primary file for the listing. The only problem is when the
data exists in both files. But at least then you will get twice the data.
It
stands out pretty well if you want to spot problems.

Hi Ed,
You could test for the record existing in one file and if it does use the
dict for that file otherwise use the dict for the other file:
TRANS(FILE.A,ID,1,X); IF @1 '' THEN FILEA.NAME ELSE FILEB.NAME
where FILEA.NAME returns the name from FILE.A and FILEB.NAME returns the
name for FILE.B
this is all off the top of my head, but it should work.

My suggestion is to create a V type dictionary item(s) that with point
to
your other file.
For example, if you want to look at the city name in your file,
ORDER.FILE.OTHER, create the following:
001: V
002: TRANS('ORDER.FILE.OTHER', @ID, location of city in
ORDER.FILE.OTHER', 'X')
003:
004: City (ORDER.FILE.OTHER)
005: 30L
006: S
Also, I recommend that you check out the capabilities of TRANS. There
are
other return codes.
Hope this helps.

RE: Memo: RE: [UD] Union Query
Are you on Universe or Unidata? I'm on Unidata 5.2 - BASICTYPE 'p', ECLTYPE 'p'. This is not working for me. When I get a list (6 items let's say) and type LIST SOME.FILE NAME.LO It seems that Unidata is taking the 6 items in the list and trying to find them in SOME.FILE first - *THEN* runs the NAME.LO dictionary. It looks to me that your example works because your system is running the NAME.LO dictionary *BEFORE* it tries to resolve the key in the list to a record in SOME.FILE. Therefore, you should be able to to something like this: SELECT SOME.FILE SAMPLE 6 SAVE-LIST SOME.LIST GET-LIST SOME.LIST LIST TOTALLY.DIFFERENT.FILE NAME.LO if the NAME.LO dict did a TRANS to SOME.FILE, then the above would work just fine - even though every key in the SOME.LIST did NOT EXIST in TOTALLY.DIFFERENT.FILE.

My 2 cents on this topic and maybe it'll trigger a UD/UV response. D3 allows you to GET-LIST A-LIST B-LIST and you get them combined for your next process.
