Nested IF statement in outline

We're using 6.2 and I've built a formula into my outline. I have used IF statements before in the outline with no problem. But I'm now trying to use a nested IF statement. Is it possible? Has anyone had any success? I keep getting "unknown calculation type [0} during the dynamic calculation.     if(@ISCHILD ("MERCH DEPTS") and a40000>0);               "hrs - required"=a40000/"sales/hr";          else          if(d0044);               "hrs - required"=25;          else               "hrs - required"=50;                                   endif;                    endif;          TIARod

I'm not sure if I completely understand what you are doing but I saw a few errors in you is statement. On your else if, you can make elseif but you don't have any function on the member name. I guesed that you need @ismbr, but it could be @isdesc or @ischild???. Take a look at the corrected calc script below. It might help youRegardsif(@ISCHILD ("MERCH DEPTS") and a40000>0);     "hrs - required"=a40000/"sales/hr"; elseif (@ismbr(d0044))     "hrs - required"=25; else           "hrs - required"=50; endif; Glenn S.Narratus Solutions Inc.

  • Is it possible to nest SELECT statements?

    Greetings community,
    Another newbie’s question it is. Looking tutorials and some posts here I’ve been advised not to pull entire table through the local network, and torture client machines’ processors and memory. It’s been said that better solution is to
    pull just one part of the table.
    So, imagine this: you want to make a part of your app that would allow your user to view list of orders. So you put one data grid view on the form, pull last 20 headers from the table into it and leave to user to choose one to be opened
    in another form. If user doesn’t find header they want, they press page up for example and previous 20 headers are loaded into data grid view. Of course, user could filter headers list by customer, or by distribution lane (having all customers residing in
    one part of the town), or whatever more, but let’s not complicate things at this moment, because I’m practically in the beginning.
    I’m trying to make a stored procedure that would load penultimate 20 headers when user presses page up. So, not knowing any better, I created table variable that has the same structure as Orders table with one difference: OrderID column,
    which is identity (auto incremented) in Orders table, here is simply defined as bigint not null. Community member Visakh16 warned me few months ago it’s the bad practice to put self-incrementing columns in table variables.
    At this moment there’s a query on my screen, which waits to become store procedure. After boring part with table variable definition, it goes like this:
    INSERT INTO @OrdersTemp SELECT TOP 40 * FROM dbo.Orders ORDER BY OrderID DESC
    SELECT TOP 20 * FROM @OrdersTemp ORDER BY OrderID ASC
    To put that simply, I pull last 40 headers into table variable, and then pull first 20 from there. This thing works, and I just have to replace 40 with parameter, for every page up or down.
    Now I have few questions.
    -Is there some better way (considering performance) to achieve that? Here is the place where I wanted to ask the question from the title of the post. I don’t know much about T-SQL, and I’m not sure about the proper syntax to nest SELECT
    statements, if something like that is even possible
    -Is there any better way (some built-in function) to find about the count of the rows in one table than
    SELECT COUNT(OrdersID) FROM dbo.Orders
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Erland,
    Sorry for the very late reply, but I said that I would start another thread when I find more free time to dedicate it to this, so I didn’t really expected you to reply anymore. I didn’t really check here for more than a week, and I glanced
    at mail accidentally.
    As for the negative result I got, its measurement unit is microsecond, so it doesn’t go out of margins you had experienced.
    As for the number of cores, you got me surprised there. I use express edition of SQL server. Last time I checked was SQL server 2012 express, and in specifications it said that express edition is limited to 1 processor core, 1GB of RAM
    and creates up to 10GB database file. I don’t believe they changed any of those specifications. It was generous enough when they doubled size of DB file few editions ago. Still, it appears that “one processor core for express edition” statement has some gray
    areas in it.
    However, at this moment I’m just learning, and I just wanted some way to test how efficient my queries are. I don’t have a real biz problem to solve. I don’t expect that any real performance problem should rise in years of everyday work
    of populating database. What I expect is performance impact when it comes to creating reports, but after all, I don’t think that my boss would create reports by himself. I believe that creating reports would be my task, and I will be doing it after hours,
    being the only user at the moment. Or maybe I could make de-normalized copy of database that would be populated after hours to make it possible for my boss to get his reports faster by himself, as I’ve heard that was the way of making BI in older non-express
    editions.
    So, I do suggest that we finally close this thread for sake of other readers. I’ll start another one with this subject when I find the time to do it.
    Again, thanks for being with me along this journey.

  • Nested SQL statements for complex, detailed queries.

    Is it  possible to write nested SQL statements for complex, detailed queries. A nested query
    has a WHERE clause that includes a SELECT statement ? Is it true or false ?

    Hi wahid,
    Here are pretty good examples:

  • Nested While Statements

    Hey guys,
    Im fairly new to Java programing and i have hit a brick wall in my coding.
    My program is a Multi-choice questionaire. And all works fine until i add the error checking code in, and i dont get (and I can't get to work) nested will statements.
    Could you guys help me merge these to Statements:
    while(!in.hasNextInt())       //This part works fine
    {                                             //This is to check if the user put in a interger.
    in.nextLine();
    System.out.println("\n Invalid Selection!");   
    System.out.println("Please Enter Amswer \n" );
    }and this part i cant get this part to work correctly
    if (Userinput >5 || Userinput <0)    //This is ment to set parameters so that
    {                                                            //the user can only enter the numbers
    in.nextLine();                                      //between 1 - 5
    System.out.println("\n Invaild Selcetion");
    System.out.println("Please Enter Answer\n" );
    Userinput = in.nextInt();
    }I would like to have both sections of code as 1 section so that it checks for both errors before it continues throught he rest of the code.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    if you want to email me or get me on msn:
    brokenstaff at gmail dot com
    again thanks.

    ok, well that is a very complex section =)
    well i tried it, but that numer validator still wont allow numbers under 5 ??? i dont know why. It works in the way of giving the error message when entering a char.
    any way here is the full code with code inserted:
    PS the counter intilization well that is for later.
    and you can proably already figure out why it is there. =)

  • Having Trouble with nested Case Statements

    Hi,
    Never write, much less post, unformatted code.
    Indent the code to show the extent of multi-line structures like BEGIN and CASE.
    For example:
    DECLARE
         /* Set supported version here */
         ora_version       VARCHAR2 (4);
         unsupp_version       EXCEPTION;
         /* Archive Log Info */
         db_log_mode      VARCHAR2 (12);
    BEGIN
         SELECT     SUBSTR(VERSION, 1, 4)
         INTO     ora_version
         FROM     v$instance;
         SELECT     log_mode
         INTO     db_log_mode
         FROM     v$database;
         CASE
             WHEN  ora_version = '10.2' THEN
              DECLARE
                  TYPE t_db IS RECORD(
                             dflsh     VARCHAR2(3),
                             dcscn      NUMBER);
                  v_db t_db;
              BEGIN
                  CASE
                      WHEN db_log_mode = 'ARCHIVELOG' THEN
                       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT INITCAP(flashback_on), current_scn FROM v$database'
                                           INTO v_db;
                       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Flashback On : ' || v_db.dflsh);
                       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Current SCN : ' || v_db.dcscn);
                       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Log Mode : ' || db_log_mode);
                       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Version : ' || ora_version);
                  END;
    ...The code above is what you posted, with some whitespace added.
    The error is much clearer; the last CASE statement concludes with END, but CASE blocks always have to conclude with END CASE .
    Why are you using a nested BEGIN block in the code above? Are you plannning to add an EXCEPTION handler later?
    When posting formatted text on this site, type these 6 characters:
    \(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Sql 2008 nested case statement

    I have a question about understanding nested case statements in sql server 2008:
     The sql looks like the folloiwng:
     select numberofcases
      from inventory
      where inventory_cnt > 1000
      (when select top 1
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 750
      then  numberofcases = 750 * 30
      when select top 2
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 975
      then  numberofcases = 975 * 35
       when select top 3
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 1025
      then  numberofcases = 1025 / 10
      when select top 4
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 1050
      then  numberofcases = 1050 / 5) c * 2
       as casesused, select CustomerNumber from inventory
    I would like you to explain the following:
    1. There are 4 when statements. Will the logic hit each when statemnet or will the logic
       stop once the first when statement is true?
    2. Would you explain what the c* 2 means from the school listed above?

    Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
    use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect. 
    This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. 
     SELECT CASE 
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 1050 THEN 1050 / 5
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 1025 THEN 1025 / 10
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 750 THEN 750 * 30
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 975 THEN 975 * 35
            ELSE NULL END AS cases_used
     FROM Inventory;
    I would like you to explain the following:
    >> 1. There are 4 when statements. Will the logic hit each when statement or will the logic stop once the first when statement is true? <<
    This code is garbage, not SQL. CASE is an expression, not a statement. Expressions return a scalar value. Your are trying to do control flow! And the answer is that a CASE works this way
    1) look at the THEN clauses and determine the data type to use
    2) test each WHEN clause and execute the first one that tests TRUE in left to right order.

  • Prompting for user input in nested select statements

    I recently rewrote a query to use a nested select statement instead of specifying every SELECT field on the GROUP BY line.  Here's the query which works perfectly with hard-coded values of '030', '01/01/11', and '12/31/11'.
    SELECT T0.[CardName] AS Customer, T0.[CardCode] as 'Cust ID', T0.[Phone1] as Phone, T0.[CntctPrsn] as 'Contact Person', T0.[Address], T0.[City], T0.[State1] as State, T0.[ZipCode] as 'Zip Code', T0.[Country],  T1.[TotalSales]
    FROM OCRD T0 
    INNER JOIN
       (SELECT I.[CardCode] AS CardCode, SUM(I.[DocTotal]) AS TotalSales
        FROM OINV I
        WHERE left (I.[CardCode], 3) = '030' AND (I.[DocDate] >= '01/01/11' AND I.[DocDate] <= '12/31/11')
        GROUP BY I.[CardCode]) T1
    ON T0.[CardCode] = T1.[CardCode]
    ORDER BY T0.[CardName]
    When I try to prompt for the left 3 characters of the CardCode (or the dates), ie.
        WHERE left (I.[CardCode], 3) = [%0] AND (I.[DocDate] >= '01/01/11' AND I.[DocDate] <= '12/31/11')
    I get an error "Column 'OCRD.CardName' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause".
    It's like putting a user variable in the inner SELECT made it part of the outer SELECT which is exactly what I was trying to avoid by re-writing this query with the inner SELECT.
    Can anyone explain what SQL Server is doing here and how to fix it?

    Thanks Gordon.  That's how I originally wrote the query and it works fine.  But I was disturbed that I had to GROUP BY every field in my SELECT statement when I really only wanted to group by CardCode.  So I did some research and came up with this where the inner select still groups by only CardCode and still takes user input.  I don't really understand why you need the commented SELECT statements in the SET lines, but you do.  Something about using real table fields for variables.

  • How to create nested CASE statements in PL/SQL

    Can anyone please tell how to create Nested CASE statements in PL/SQL with proper syntax?
    It would be better if you can help with an example.
    Thank you!

    Something like this:

      7      when 2 then begin
      8                    case v2
      9                      when 'A' then dbms_output.put_line('Found A');
    10                      when 'B' then dbms_output.put_line('Found B');

  • Nested SQL-statements

    I'm trying to nest a statement in oracle. The first statement looks like this:
    Select DEREF(TREAT (REF(P) AS ref clubmember_ty)).passwd
    FROM persons_tab p; This works fine.
    This gives me the password from the clubmember_ty. But insted of typing the whole DEREF...statement for every atrribute i want to get, I would like to type something like this:
    select cm.username,cm.password,cm.E_mail,cm.surname from(
    Select DEREF(TREAT (REF(P) AS ref clubmember_ty))
    FROM persons_tab p) cm;
    The problem is that i get the error messege: "invalid columname" for cm.username,cm.password,cm.E_mail.
    Clubmember is a subtype of person(all created as types) and they are stored in a table that contains types.
    Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

    Could this be done more efficiently with a JOIN? I always think about that when I hear about a situation where one ResultSet is used to drive a query for another. If the first query brings back N records, that means (N+1) network roundtrips to get the final result. That could be a performance killer for large N.
    If you can, you're better off writing this as a SELECT with a sub-SELECT or a JOIN.
    If you must do it this way, you're always smarter to load the ResultSet into a CachedRowSet or a data structure and then close out the ResultSet right away, IMO.

    HI John,
    Try to avoid INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS in SELECT statement.
    As you are not using PSPNR and POSNR fields in the first SELECT statement. If you remove these fields, in structure, INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS can be avoided. Create a separate structure with the fields that are required for T_OUTPUT table (i.e. create another structure with only first 4 fields, as T_OUTPUT1.
    And as mentioned in your code,
      WHERE objnr = st_output-objnr
           AND   pspnr = st_output-pspnr
    in select statement, ST_OUTPUT-PSPNR value is not fetched in the previous select statements.
    Create Another structure with fields OBJNR, PSPNR, POSNR for table T_OUTPUT2 to store the data from tables, PRPS and IMZO.
    Use JOINS and FOR ALL ENTRIES to fetch the desired data.
    The sample code is as follows:
    ===
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_output1,
      objnr       TYPE coss-objnr,
      gjahr       TYPE coss-gjahr,

    end
    when PERC >=0.66 then 'RR'
    when PERC < 0.66 then 'TT'

  • Nesting "If" Statements

    I'm trying to use a radio button to control a repeating subform and the subform containing it.  When the value for the radio button is "no", the containing subform is hidden, but the repeating subform contained within it isn't altered (so in case someone makes a mistake they don't lose all of their data).  When the radio button value is "yes", the containing subform is rendered visible, and I'd like to have it add an instance of the repeating subform only if there are no instances of it currently.  Unfortunately, I can't get the second part to work, and for various reasons I can't use the Initial Count or Minimum Count properties in the Bindings tab.  Here's the code I'm using (in the "change" event of the radio button group):
    if (this.rawValue=='1'){
              Container_Subform.presence="visible";
              if (Container_Subform.Repeating_Subform.instanceManager.count=='0')
                   Container_Subform._Repeating_Subform.addInstance(1);
                   xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    I'm thinking it must be something simple, but I can't think of it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I figured out how to do what I was trying to do.  It doesn't involve nested "If" statements, but it works.
    form1.#subform[0].Name.Radio_Button_Group::change - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue=='1') && (Container_Subform._Repeating_Subform.count < '1'))
              Container_Subform._Repeating_Subform.addInstance(1);
              xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    form1.#subform[0].Name.Radio_Button_Group.Yes::change - (JavaScript, client)
    Container_Subform.presence="visible";
    form1.#subform[0].Name.Radio_Button_Group.No::change - (JavaScript, client)
    Repeater_Subform.presence="hidden";

  • Can you use nested sql statements in jsp??

    I know what that is.. it is because I am trying to open another result set before the first one is closed... but I need that one open cause I need to loop through the ids and run it against the second query??
    Any suggestions...

    I am not positive but it seems from your error message you will not be able to use the nested SQL. Another option would be to store the values of the ResultSet in a Vector (or Array), and then close your ResultSet and loop through the vector or array instead...

    Thanks in Advace.

    Hi,
    Instead of nested query go for two separate queries. I see you are querying on the same table...so better go by this approach
    select field1 field2 POSITION_POSTDT
    into table w_feeds
    from ZTable
    where field2 in r_feedf1.
    Remove the where condition on POSITION_POSTDT
    Sort the table w_feeds by POSITION_POSTDT  Descending; So you will get data pertaining to Max Position_Postdt.
    Finally delete the other entries which are not Max.
    This will enhance the performance over the nested query.
