    FM6 use ODBC for lookup

    Hi, I have a database that has several text fields, which I'd like to auto-populate by using a customer number (manually entered) to look up the relevant fields in an Oracle DB. I got to the point of getting a query to import the data, but I don't see a way to say "where...

    Determining Fiscal Period

    Hi, I'm using CR10 to write a report which will be set up as a recurring report, to run on the first day of each fiscal period (using a custom calendar in CE10). I need this report to pull data for the previous fiscal period. I have a table that has dates, fiscal months, years, etc, which I...

    CR10 Oracle odbc problems

    Hello, I'm trying to write a report in CR10, using the Oracle-provided ODBC driver (v 9.02.00.65), hitting an oracle 9i database. My problem is that I can't see all of the schemas I need to. For example, I can see mine (MSTRONG), but I can't see the YCCDBS schema. I think the last time this...

    update with commits at certain counts

    Hello, I think I have a simple question, but it's driving me crazy. I have to update a column in a table that has 97 million rows. The update is basically set status=Y where status=X. I'm trying to do a plsql block that will keep a counter, and commit after every 1000 records, but I can't...

    Check to see if a file is open by any process

    I'm helping out on a project that uses Cron to go out and get a file, which is then processed through another program. The current setup has a script that tests to see if a file is there, but it may still be open and being written to. We're looking for a way to find out if the file is open (or...

    Passing shell variable to Informix sql

    Hi, I'm trying to write a k shell script that will prompt the user for a location, and then pass that value to a stand alone sql that the script will call. I've done this with Oracle before, but the same method isn't working. This is the way I've approached it so far: echo " Enter...
