<div><p>This example shows how to use mapped fields as join fields when
|
|
dynamically joining database files without DDS.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><div class="p">You can use fields defined on the MAPFLD parameter for either
|
|
one of the join field pairs. This is useful when the key in the secondary
|
|
file is defined as a single field (for example, a 6-character date field)
|
|
and there are separate fields for the same information (for example, month,
|
|
day, and year) in the primary file. Assume that FILEA has character fields <em>Year,
|
|
Month</em>, and <em>Day</em> and needs to be joined to FILEB which has the <em>Date</em> field
|
|
in YYMMDD format. Assume that you have defined file JOINAB with
|
|
the required format. You can specify: <pre>OVRDBF FILE(JOINAB) TOFILE(FILEA) SHARE(*YES)
|
|
OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA FILEB) FORMAT(JOINAB) +
|
|
JFLD((YYMMDD FILEB/DATE)) +
|
|
MAPFLD((YYMMDD 'YEAR *CAT MONTH *CAT DAY'))
|
|
CALL PGM(PGME) /* Created using file JOINAB as input */
|
|
CLOF OPNID(FILEA)
|
|
DLTOVR FILE(JOINAB)</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The MAPFLD parameter defines the <em>YYMMDD</em> field as the concatenation
|
|
of several fields from FILEA. You do not need to specify field attributes
|
|
(for example, length or type) for the <em>YYMMDD</em> field on the MAPFLD parameter
|
|
because the system calculates the attributes from the expression.</p>
