|
||
<div><p>This example shows how to map fields for packed numeric data fields
|
||
using the Open Query File (OPNQRYF) command. </p>
|
||
<div class="section"><p>Assume that you have a packed decimal <em>Date</em> field in the
|
||
format MMDDYY and you want to select all the records for the year 1988. You
|
||
cannot select records directly from a portion of a packed decimal field, but
|
||
you can use the MAPFLD parameter on the OPNQRYF command to create a new field
|
||
that you can then use for selecting part of the field.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><p>The format of each mapped field definition is:</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><p>(result field 'expression' attributes)</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><div class="p">where: <dl><dt class="dlterm">result field</dt>
|
||
<dd>The name of the result field.</dd>
|
||
<dt class="dlterm">expression</dt>
|
||
<dd>How the result field should be derived. The expression can include substring,
|
||
other built-in functions, or mathematical statements.</dd>
|
||
<dt class="dlterm">attributes</dt>
|
||
<dd>The optional attributes of the result field. If no attributes are given
|
||
(or the field is not defined in a file), the OPNQRYF command calculates a
|
||
field attribute determined by the fields in the expression.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="example"> <pre>OVRDBF FILE(FILEA) SHARE(*YES)
|
||
OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA) QRYSLT('YEAR *EQ "88" ') +
|
||
MAPFLD((CHAR6 '%DIGITS(DATE)') +
|
||
(YEAR '%SST(CHAR6 5 2)' *CHAR 2))
|
||
CALL PGM(PGMC)
|
||
CLOF OPNID(FILEA)
|
||
DLTOVR FILE(FILEA)</pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><div class="p">In this example, if DATE was a date data type, it can be specified
|
||
as follows: <pre>OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA) +
|
||
QRYSLT ('YEAR *EQ 88') +
|
||
MAPFLD((YEAR '%YEAR(DATE)'))</pre>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><p>The first mapped field definition specifies that the <em>Char6</em> field
|
||
be created from the packed decimal <em>Date</em> field. The %DIGITS function
|
||
converts from packed decimal to character and ignores any decimal definitions
|
||
(that is, 1234.56 is converted to '123456'). Because no definition of the <em>Char6</em> field
|
||
is specified, the system assigns a length of 6. The second mapped field defines
|
||
the <em>Year</em> field as type *CHAR (character) and length 2. The expression
|
||
uses the substring function to map the last 2 characters of the <em>Char6</em> field
|
||
into the <em>Year</em> field.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><div class="p">Note that the mapped field definitions are processed in the order
|
||
in which they are specified. In this example, the <em>Date</em> field was converted
|
||
to character and assigned to the <em>Char6</em> field. Then, the last two digits
|
||
of the <em>Char6</em> field (the year) were assigned to the <em>Year</em> field.
|
||
Any changes to this order would have produced an incorrect result.<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Mapped
|
||
field definitions are always processed before the QRYSLT parameter is evaluated.</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<div class="section"><div class="p">You can accomplish the same result by specifying the substring
|
||
on the QRYSLT parameter and dropping one of the mapped field definitions as
|
||
follows:<pre>OPNQRYF FILE(FILEA) +
|
||
QRYSLT('%SST(CHAR6 5 2) *EQ "88" ') +
|
||
MAPFLD((CHAR6 '%DIGITS(DATE)'))</pre>
