COUNT ME IN as old-school; saw my first computer in xmas break in 1950 at The IBM service bureau. I now have this thing down to two files; file A can have more than one row per ssn; FILE B has only one row per ssn. I need to join them so that each and every row in A has its' corresponding info from B. Many times I've tried This with JOIN with remarkable lack of success. Also match seems to work Sometimes in this situation. Any suggestions? bobh -----Original Message----- From: focus-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:focus-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mickey Grackin Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 1:13 PM To: focus-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [focus-l] Re: TRUNCATION Robert, You may also use the SET BYDISPLAY =3D ON. This forces FOCUS to show = the value of the BY phrases on each row. I think this was mainly added for Excel but it works for all output formats. This was added in WebFOCUS 4.3.6(?) I think. Harry's way will also work. That's the old school way of accomplishing the same result. No insult intended. :) Mickey Grackin (301) 975-8417 -----Original Message----- From: focus-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:focus-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Harry Wykes Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 2:00 PM To: focus-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [focus-l] Re: TRUNCATION Robert, >> Another thing; is there a way to make focus list every value in each row it Is very confusing for the user to see STU_ID FUND EFC OFFER_BAL ROW AMT1 cOL1 HOUSING ------ ---- --- --------- --- ---- ---- ------- xxx263738 84604 0 7029.00 1 0 XFUND xxx267177 80014 0 1519.00 1 1519 2 <snip> I need to get stu_id to appear in each and every row and have never Figured out how to do it . . . << Try PRINT STU_ID FUND EFC OFFER_BAL ROW AMT1 cOL1 HOUSING BY STU_ID NOPRINT BY FUND NOPRINT etc. Harry Wykes, UK
