The First Report Requested


No Problem


Report 1

TABLE FILE ORDERSSUM SALES COST COMPUTE PROFIT/D12.2 = LINEPRICE – LINE_COGS; MARGINBY REGION NOPRINTBY STATE NOPRINTBY HIGHEST TOTAL PROFIT NOPRINTBY CITYBY STORENAMEHEADING"Report of Sales”"Region <REGION""State <STATE""For Year &Order_Year "Where Order_Year EQ &Order_Year END


And Then They Asked for: No Problem


Add A JOIN file; Change the Sort field …


Report 1

TABLE FILE ORDERSSUM SALES COST COMPUTE PROFIT/D12.2 = LINEPRICE – LINE_COGS; MARGINBY REGION NOPRINTBY STATE NOPRINTBY HIGHEST TOTAL PROFIT NOPRINTBY PRODTYPEHEADING"Report of Sales”"Region <REGION""State <STATE""For Year &Order_Year "Where Order_Year EQ &Order_Year END


Can You Put Them Together? (With Totals Please)


No Problem – Compound PDF

SET COMPOUND EXEC Report1 SUM … BY REGION BY STATE BY CITY EXEC Report2 SUM … BY REGION BY STATE BY PRODUCT EXEC Report3 SUM … BY REGION BY STATE

Output Report1 for All States within Region Report2 for All States with Region Report3 for All States within Region

OR Report1, Report2, Report3 for New Jersey Report1, Report2, Report3 for New York Report1, Report2, Report3 for Pennsylvania


And, of course, And “Burstable” by State


Suppose We Had 3 Copies of each record,

The McGyver Master

FILENAME=FOCMCGYV, SUFFIX=FIX, SEGNAME=ONE, SEGTYPE=S0 FIELDNAME=CONTROL, ,A1,A1,$

. . . SEGNAME=TWO, SEGTYPE=S0,PARENT=ONE , OCCURS = VARIABLE FIELDNAME=CHAR1,,A1, A1, $ FIELDNAME=CTR,ALIAS=ORDER, FORMAT=I4 , I4, $DEFINE REPORT_NUMBER/I4 = CTR;


What to do? Enter McGyver

A Record is one instance of each referenced Segment/TABLE.

DEFINE fields are created at the lowest Segment/TABLE referenced in the DEFINE expression.

McGyver: Create a lower level segment with DEFINE based JOIN Higher level fields are inherited by the lower level segment Use DEFINE to use the higher level fields at the report

number level.

Build the Launch Page

Parameterize the Report:

WHERE REGION EQ

'&REGION.(FIND REGION IN STORES_EN).REGION.';

WHERE COUNTRY EQ

'&COUNTRY.(FIND COUNTRY IN STORES_EN).COUNTRY.';

WHERE ORDER_YEAR EQ

'&ORDER_YEAR.(<2003,2003>,<2004,2004>).Year.';

WHERE COUNTER EQ

&COUNTER.(OR(<Total By State,3>,<Total by State/Store,1>,<Total by State/Product,2>)).Report.

What to Do?

• Add Option 4 to the DEFINEDEFINE FILE ORDERSSRT2/A30=IF COUNTER EQ 4 THEN ' ' ELSE STATE;SRT5/A30= IF COUNTER EQ 1 THEN CITY ELSE IF COUNTER EQ 2 THEN PRODCAT ELSE IF COUNTER EQ 3 THEN 'Total ' ELSE IF COUNTER EQ 4 THEN STATE ELSE ' ';SRT6/A30=IF COUNTER EQ 1 THEN STORENAME ELSE ' ';SRT3/I1 = IF COUNTER EQ 4 THEN 1 ELSE IF COUNTER EQ 3 THEN 2 ELSE 3;OVER_SRT/I1 = IF COUNTER EQ 4 THEN 1 ELSE 2;END

• Change launch page and include New Parameter Value for Option.


Output – Really Close, but HEADING ?


McGyver Even works with COMPUTE

• COMPUTE HEADING field based on COUNTER.

• Since COUNTER is numeric, ALWAYS use the Average (AVE.) in COMPUTES.

COMPUTE MYTITLE/A60 = IF AVE.COUNTER EQ 4 THEN ' ' ELSE 'State: ' | STATE;

HEADING"Report of Sales""Region: <REGION ""<MYTITLE""For Year: <Order_Year "
