Reverse Locate

-



You can locate from the back of the string using option "DR" in the locate command.

Example:

 PROGRAM TEST.LOCATE$INCLUDE T24.BP I_COMMON
$INCLUDE T24.BP I_EQUATE
Y.STRING = 30:VM:30:VM:30:VM:30:VM:30:VM:30
LOCATE 30 IN Y.STRING<1,1> BY "DR" SETTING POS THEN
CRT POS
END

STOP


The result will be 6. Usually the answer will be 1 using LOCATE command

Current Variables in T24

-
CURRENT VARIABLE Introduction In addition to the system common variables that can be used in ENQUIRY and VERSION there is a feature where the user can populate a variable of their own and use it later. There are now a series of new system variables and a much wider option for users to create and use their own which are: CURRENT.CUSTOMER CURRENT.ARRANGEMENT CURRENT.EXTERNAL.USER These may be set on login by an external user and cleared when they logout. This means that ENQUIRY & VERSION can be tailored to accept the content of the variable instead of forcing a user to enter their own customer number or arrangement etc. Similarly in VERSION you can now default a field content by using the !CURRENT.CUSTOMER to populate a customer field with the current content of the variable.

SQL queries in JBase

-
The query Language of Jbase is really restrictive. Data analysis and comparison between two table is not possible without the use of spreadsheet software. I recently came to know that Jbase is providing a command called SQLSELECT through which you can actually issue SQL query command directly on Jbase tables. A sample would be like SQLSELECT * FROM FBNK.ACCOUNT WHERE SHORT_NAME LIKE '%PETER%' AND CATEGORY = 6601 Limitations: The command though have serious limitations such as  The table you query should not have dot charecter for example you cannot query FBNK.CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT with this command. But there is a workaround for the above drawback. Make a copy of the VOC record FBNK.CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT into a new one without ID in its ID. For Example: COPY FROM VOC FBNK.CUSTOMER.ACCOUNT,FBNK.CUSACC SQLSELECT * FROM FBNK.CUSACC; will work. The field name should not have dot character. You can overcome this by changing the dot character to underscore. For...
