Hello there,
we are running GA/400 4.2 on iseries 7.1
I am trying to create a number of xls files out of one AS/400 database file. Background is to send a list of item numbers to all active suppliers. The base file has the supplier number and item number (and more) fields and looks like this:
suppl1 item1
suppl1 item2
suppl2 item1
suppl3 item1
suppl3 item2....
What i want to do is to create one xls file for each supplier i find in this file (= report break).
Can this be done with standard GA/400 functionality?
Any hint is very much appreciated.

Axel,
You can perform this functionality easily using the SQL Task to retrieve a unique list of Supplier codes, then loop through that Rowset and calling the SQL Task again (inside the loop) to retrieve the items into a separate Rowset then writing that 2nd Rowset to a CSV. In Pseudo Terms:

Code: Select all
<sql Task>
<Query = "Select Distinct Supplier_Code from MyTable" OutputRowsetVariable="MySuppliers">
<ForEach InputRowsetVariable="${MySuppliers}" ItemVar="ThisSupplier">
<sql Task>
<Query = "Select Item, ItemDesc, ItemCost from MyTable where Supplier=${ThisSupplier[1]}" OutputRowsetVariable="SupplierItems">
<writeCSV InputRowsetVariable="${SupplierItems}"
</Foreach>
