The long answer is, the SQR Language Reference hints that Oracle could do it, but it would be difficult for them to implement and difficult for us to use. Since Oracle hasn’t made even the easy improvements to SQR, I don’t think we’ll ever get this feature.

SQR has a feature called “last-page” which allows us to enhance our page numbering with phrases like “Page 1 of 10″. When we use “last-page”, SQR keeps all our printed output in a buffer until the program has ended. It counts the pages (this is independent of the #page-count variable, so don’t bother to manipulate it) and annotates each page in the buffer with the final page count.

Wow! Think of what we could do with access to that buffer. Now think about never being able to do it. Sorry.

I don’t understand your question. The Oracle logo appears on Peoplesoft pages, but it doesn’t appear on the output of an SQR program. It’s possible to take the logo off Peoplesoft pages, but I’ve never paid attention to the explanations I’ve seen about it. Sorry – you might try an Internet search.

I am also looking in sqrug, but I have a basic question.

For Oracle/PeopleSoft SQR, where does the Oracle logo reside and get called. I presume it is in a header sqc or two, but I’m having trouble locating the logo. My coa mpny wants to put their logo in it’s place.

Thanks,

Your second example, with the hash marks, indicate that the SQR interpreter should not translate all your code. The translator evaluates the “a=a” expression and determines that it is true. It translates the “Do Print-Failure(1)” command and ignores the “Do Print-Failure(2)” command. The translation will be the same as if you had just coded “Do Print-Failure(1).”

Your first example translates all five lines of code. When we get to the second stage of executing code, the SQR interpreter will evaluate the IF statement every time you pass through this code, perform the first branch, “Do Print-Failure(1)”, and skip over the rest of the translated code (”Do Print-Failure(2)”).

In the first example, the translation takes a little longer because it translates five lines instead of one, and the execution takes a little longer because it has to test the expression “a=a” and branch appropriately.

The “#IF” command is a directive to the code translator. The “IF” command is a directive to the code executor. As for usage:

- #IF can only evaluate simple expressions; complex expressions require IF.
- #IF is good if you have to choose between two blocks of code and SQR won’t let you compile both. For example, two different BEGIN-SELECT blocks that use the same aliases.
- #IF is good if you have a piece of code that is not a full, stand-alone command, and you might or might not want to use it. For example: (1) part of a WHERE clause, (2) fields in a CREATE-ARRAY command.

Where is the difference between:

If a=a
Do Print-Failure(1)
ELSE
Do Print-Failure(2)
END-IF

…and an IF with a hashmark, like the following:

#IF a=a
Do Print-Failure(1)
#ELSE
Do Print-Failure(2)
#END-IF

…its only a small example of me problem.
Please tell me whats the difference and in which cases you use a hashmark…

Please make me happy

I am a new comer to your site as well as peoplesoft too. But i am eager in learning the peoplesoft and SQR. Is there is any single user or minimal user version to practice peoplesoft applications. Or anything like simulations.

Please Help me on this.
