I am trying to join two tables using executeqbe to use the output in a report. The common key for both tables in this case is the "WORK ORDER NUMBER". Can anyone tell me the correct format for joing the two tables? I tried typing JOIN, just prior to the check and ~s but that did not work. Thanks.


method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
var
r Report
q Query
s String
endVar

s = WORK_ORDER_NUMBER.value

q = Query

ANSWER: :PRIV:ANSWER.DB

FLEET SERVICE.DB | WORK ORDER NUMBER | UNIT | LTD HOURS |
| Check ~s | CHECK | CHECK |

FLEET SERVICE NOTES JD.DB| WORK ORDER NUMBER |TYPE |SEGMENT |
| Check ~s | CHECK | CHECK |
EndQuery

executeQBE(q)


r.open("FLEET SERVICE-OPEN WORK ORDER")


endmethod

seen here, the query structure looks correct.. is the linked field the same type in both tables?.. if you do it interactively, what error do you get?

Here is the latest iteration, when I run it interactively and manually input the search string it runs fine. When I run it off the button the query runs but does not retrieve any recrods. I must have an error on my join or string but i have not been able to figure it out.




method pushButton(var eventInfo Event)
var
r Report
q Query
s String
endVar

s = WORK_ORDER_NUMBER.value

q = Query

ANSWER: :PRIV:ANSWER.DB

FLEET SERVICE.DB | WORK ORDER NUMBER | UNIT MODEL |
| _JOIN1, CHECK ~s | CHECK | CHECK |

FLEET SERVICE NOTES JD.DB |WORK ORDER NUMBER | TYPE |
| _JOIN1, CHECK | CHECK |
EndQuery

executeQBE(q)

;r.print("ORDER")
r.open("FLEET SERVICE-OPEN WORK ORDER")


endmethod

most likely error.. what are the field types, what is ~s ?? if s is a string, but that field is a number or a short, the query will run, but the table will be empty..

Yes, ~s is a string, the field is a alpha numeric field. Is there something I can add to the coding to allow for that?

alpha-numeric is a string, too.. take this to the community site, you'll get other ideas
