    Conditional Formatting based on a shared variable

    Crystal XI I have a report with a subreport, and am passing shared variables from the subreport to the main report. Obviously I had to place the shared variable in a section below the subreport on the main report to get them to display correctly (Group Header A and B). I underlayed Group...

    Comparing values on the main report to those on the subreport

    I have a report that pulls data from 2 different tables. The join is left outer because I want to see every record in the base table, and only records that match from the other table. This worked fine until I had to add selection criteria on the second table...which of course kills the left...

    I am connecting to an ORACLE database using ODBC. This database has a TON of tables in it, and I can't see them all in the database explorer. Is there a limit to how many tables will display?

    Newbie question on index vs data tablespaces

    Hi. We have 2 separate tablespaces for our data and our index. My question is, what causes the index space to grow (often times faster than the data tblspace)? For example, I have 2 separate Oracle instances (PROD and TEST) and we often truncate testdata and copy proddata into it. Everytime...

    CRON every other question

    Is there a way to have a cron job kick off a script every other thursday? I couldn't figure it out using days of the week, so I was wondering if I scheduled on an "on" thursday and then had it run on 14 day intervals or something like that.

    Check for open file before reading

    I'm using a MFCobol program in an interface to pick up a file ftp'd from another server for processing. Intermittently, I receive a 9 0018 error file status on that file (which equates to Read Error: Reached EOF before EOR or open in wrong mode). I'm guessing that because both of these jobs...

    How to append to a value entered in a text box?

    I have a textbox that is free text on a form. I want to append a '#' sign at the beginning of whatever the user types in this box. Could this be handled with an onchange event so that it happens as soon as the user clicks outside, or tabs away from this box? Or is there a better way? Thanks...

    Strange issue calling script from COBOL program

    I have a COBOL program that reads a DB and strings together a pipe (|) delimited flat file. Once the file creation is complete, it calls a section to invoke a shell script to move the file from one server to another. Something about the pipe delimiter causes the function to fail. Things to...

    I would like to read a dataset and only show me the records where a particular field contains double quotes ("). The problem is, when trying to write the formula, it assumes I'm trying to encapsulate something in quotes and gives the error "the matching quote is missing for opening quotes"...

    How to strip out carriage returns from a text file

    I have a process written in access that imports a text file, runs a make table query against the imported table (to do some reformatting, record selection, etc) then exports the made table to a fixed length text file. This works like a champ, and I will automate it with a VB module. The...

    Loading a CSV file using a Cobol program

    I have a program that reads a csv file and loads it to an Oracle database. The program works fine using a sample file that I created in Excel. However, in the real world, it needs to use a file extracted from another system. This extract encases every fields' value in quotes &quot; &quot...
