Examples - Create Logical Vew

These examples apply to creating a logical view within a file definition.
The file definition used in these examples is called CUSMST (Customer master file) and contains these fields:

 |
Example 1
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTV1 that will order CUSMST by NAME and allow generic searching by NAME:
Logical view name     : CUSMSTV1
Desc of logical view  : Customer master by customer name
Access path maint opt : IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? NO
Key field details 
    Field   Description      A/D    S/U/A
    NAME__                  A          
    ______                        _        +
    ______                        _        +
                                             +
Example 2
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTV2 that will order CUSMST by STATE then POSTCD (i.e.POSTCD within STATE):
Logical view name     : CUSMSTV2
Desc of logical view  : Cust master by state and postcode
Access path maint opt : IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? NO
Key field details 
    Field      Description      A/D   S/U/A
    STATE___                         _
    POSTCD__                         _
                                         +
 
Note that no ascend/descend value has been specified. In this case the value will default to ascend for both keys.
Example 3
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTS1 that will order CUSMST by CUSTNO. Only records with ACTIVE = 'Y' are to be "visible" when using this logical view:
Logical view name     : CUSMSTS1
Desc of logical view  : Active customers by customer no
Access path maint opt : IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? NO
Key field details:
    Field       Description      A/D   S/U/A
    CUSTNO_                           _
    _______                           _        +
    _______                           _        +
                                                 +
 
Select/Omit criteria:
    AND/OR    SELECT/OMIT    Field       Operation(s)        
              SELECT____    ACTIVE    COMP(EQ 'Y')_____
Example 4
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTS2 that will order CUSMST by AMTDUE. Only records with CREDIT greater than 100000 and AMTDUE greater than or equal to 20000 are to be visible via this view. Records are to be ordered from highest amount due to lowest amount due. Use the dynamic select feature as well.
Logical view name    : CUSMSTS2
Desc of logical view : High credit, large debt customers
Access path maint opt: IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? YES
Key field details:
    Field       Description      A/D   S/U/A
    AMTDUE__                     D      S
    _______                           _        +
    _______                           _        +
                                                 +
 
Select/Omit criteria :
    AND/OR    SELECT/OMIT    Field     Operation(s)     
              SELECT___     CREDIT__ COMP(GT 100000)______
    AND       _________     AMTDUE__ COMP(GE 20000)_______
Note that since no entry was made in the SELECT/OMIT column for the second select/omit statement the 2 statements are ANDed together. In this case only customers with CREDIT greater than 100000 AND AMTDUE greater than or equal to 20000 are selected.
Example 5
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTS3 that will order CUSMST by CREDIT. Only records with CREDIT greater than 100000 or AMTDUE greater than or equal to 20000 are to be visible via this view.
Logical view name     : CUSMSTS3
Desc of logical view  : High credit or large debt customers
Access path maint opt : IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? NO
Key field details:
    Field        Description      A/D    S/U/A
    CREDIT_                             _    
    _______                             _        +
    _______                             _        +
                                                   +
 
Select/Omit criteria:
    AND/OR    SELECT/OMIT   Field      Operation(s)        
              SELECT___    CREDIT__ COMP(GT 100000)_______
    OR        SELECT___    AMTDUE__ COMP(GE 20000)________
Note that since an entry was made in the SELECT/OMIT column for the second select/omit statement the 2 statements are read together. In this case only customers with CREDIT greater than 100000 OR . AMTDUE greater than or equal to 20000 are selected.
Example 6
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTS4 that will order CUSMST by STATE and CUSTNO. Only records with a STATE of NSW, VIC or QLD are to be visible via this view.
Logical view name     : CUSMSTS4
Desc of logical view  : East coast customers by state, cust
Access path maint opt : IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? NO
Key field details 
    Field      Description      A/D   S/U/A
    STATE__                          _    
    CUSTNO_                          _    
    _______                          _         +
                                                 +
 
Select/Omit criteria:
    AND/OR    SELECT/OMIT    Field     Operation(s)        
              SELECT____    STATE__ COMP(EQ 'NSW')_______
    OR        SELECT____    STATE__ COMP(EQ 'VIC')_______
    OR        SELECT____    STATE__ COMP(EQ 'QLD')_______
 
An identical condition can be made using the VALUES keyword:
Select/Omit criteria 
    AND/OR    SELECT/OMIT   Field   Operation(s)        
              SELECT____   STATE VALUES('NSW' 'VIC' 'QLD')    
Example 7
Create a logical view/file called CUSMSTS5 that will order CUSMST by CUSTNO. Only records with an ACCTYP value of 2, 3 or 4 are to be visible via this view.
Logical view name     : CUSMSTS5
Desc of logical view  : Customers with type 2, 3 or 4 accounts
Access path maint opt : IMMED Unique? NO Dynamic select? NO
Key field details:
    Field      Description      A/D   S/U/A
    CUSTNO_                          _    
    _______                          _        +
    _______                          _        +
Select/Omit criteria:
    AND/OR    SELECT/OMIT    Field     Operation(s)        
              SELECT____     ACCTYP__ COMP(EQ 2)____
    OR        SELECT____     ACCTYP__ COMP(EQ 3)____
    OR        SELECT____     ACCTYP__ COMP(EQ 4)_____
The select /omit condition could also be expressed as:
 
             SELECT____    ACCTYP__ COMP(GE 2)_______
    AND                     ACCTYP___ COMP(LE 4)________
or :
 
             SELECT____     ACCTYP_ VALUES(2 3 4)_____
or :
 
             SELECT____    ACCTYP__ RANGE(2 4)_____
