The SQR Language Reference recommends that you don't use the date-time command. It also mentions that if you use it for printing, it will return the date and time that the program started, not the date and time that the command executed. I'm curious, why do you need to print fractions of a second?

Thanks,

I tried using date-time () for Fractional second. it doesnt work.
Instead I used
print $current-date (+1) edit ‘DD-MON-YYYY HH24:Mi:SS:NN’
Its works fine.

Hi Anand,

Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you like my blog.

You have discovered something about the last-page command that I didn’t know. It doesn’t use the #page-count variable. It has some other counter, which may or may not be available to us to inspect or alter. I don’t think the multiple report option will help – it requires you to put each report in its own file. You could experiment with other variable names in hope of finding an undocumented variable: #page-count2, #page-counter, #last-page, etc. You could loop through your report generation twice; first to get the page counts in throw-away files, then to print again with your own #last-page numbers. Another possibility to print separate files and use the call system command with a utility concatenate them – type “concatenate pdf files” into Google for ideas.

You may get a better answer on the http://www.sqrug.org discussion group. Good luck.

Hi Anand,

The SQR Language Reference covers edit masks in the section about the print command. It says you can use “N” for fractions. I haven’t tried it myself, but I think you need to use the decimal point (in USA) or decimal comma (other countries), not the colon. Try ‘DD-MM-YYYY HH:MI:SS.NN’. The manual also warns us that SQR tries to be precise to microseconds (1/1,000,000) but most hardware and databases will not supply that level of accuracy. Good luck.

Hi,

How to get the fractional second in SQR.

I used different format like

date-time () ‘DD-MM-YYYY HH:Mi:SS:FF’
date-time () ‘DD-MM-yyyy HH:MI:SS:NN’

Its shows the error date format is not correct.. Suggest me any Idea to find it.

Thanks in Advance,

I love the site very much, its keeps interesting me to learn sqr more..
I have the Issue with the page no… My pdf(single) file has 2reports I would like insert the page no on each page in footer.. I would like to get the page No like this 1-26 and 1-34 it differ accordingly..
when i use the statement

begin-footing f1
page-number(1) ’Page ’
last-page () ’ of ’
end-footing

In the middle i have altered the #page-count to 1 for second part of the report
here the last-page return page 1 of 60 (for first part) and page 1 of 60 ( for second part) instead I would like to get
page 1 of 26 and page 1 of 34 (in same pdf file).

by alternative.. I tried to using simple print statement with delay in footer and after the end-select i used set-print-delay for total page but It doesnt work.. How to solve it..suggest me any idea. to find total page.. (since page count may vary)

thanks in Advance
