How to use Dynamic View as a Prompt Table?

Question

Can someone give me or point me to an example of the code / syntax needed for this?
First, to be clear, I'm not simply trying to have the name of the prompt table be a variable; e.g. I don't want to define the prompt table as %EDITTABLE and set the value of this field in pcode. I want to have a view where I can dynamically at run time change the WHERE clause in the SQL.
In particular, I want to be able to specify WHERE BUSINESS_UNIT IN (xxxx)
and to build the list of values at run time in pcode.
- How should I code the SQL in the record? (Or do I leave the SQL blank and somehow pass the entire SQL from pcode?)
- How do I code the SQL in my pcode, and how will this be passed to or incorporated into the prompt table? I know that I can code something like
&BU_List = "'" || &BU1 || "','" || &BU2 || "'";
but what's the next step?
Thanks.

Answer 1

I figured out the answer:
- The prompt table is a dynamic view.
- The field that points to the prompt table has a property called SQLText. Assigning SQL to that field/property causes the dynamic view's SQL (if any) to be overwritten with the new SQL.
In this example, I take the basic SQL from a SQL object, then append an AND clause (which contains a list of BU values that I built in previous pcode) and assigns the concatenated SQL to field.SQLText.
&SQLText = FetchSQL(SQL.B_DISTINCT_JOB_UNION);
&WhereBU = " AND BUSINESS_UNIT IN (" | &BU_List | ")";
B_BN016R_RUN.UNION_CD.SqlText = &SQLText | &WhereBU;
