Actually Michael
if your assumption is correct (a pretty good assumption) all you really
need is the FROM date that was entered
then (in somewhat pseudo-code)

Enteredfromdate setll file
eval filefinishedwith = *off
dou filefinishedwith
read file
if not %eof(file)
if Enteredfromdate => Filefromdate and
Enteredfromdate =< Filethrudate
exsr Procrecord
else
eval filefinishedwith = *on
endif
else
eval filefinishedwith = *on
endif

Srinivas,

You mentioned that in your file that you have two dates that are broken
out
by Century, year, month and day, which I assume is somekind of date
range.
You also mentioned that the user will be entering a date range. Am I
right
to assume that you want to find all records where the range in the file
either partially or fully covers the range of the user? For example...

If users keyed date range is... 08/01/2007 through 12/31/2007

You'll expected to get records as shown in the file..

From Date To Date
FCC FYY FMM FDD TCC TYY TMM TDD
20 07 01 01 20 07 08 30 Selected, because TO DATE Falls within
user Date range...
20 07 08 01 20 08 01 01 Selected, because FROM DATE Falls
within
user Date range...
20 07 01 01 20 08 12 31 Selected, because FROM & TO DATE is
before & after the user range...

Is this what your are asking?

If so, I believe the easiest way, but slowest processing way, would be to
read the whole file and compare the date range in the file to the date
range entered by the user.

Maybe it'll be better to actually post your homework assignment so that
you
don't have to do any of the work. HAHA just kidding.

Hi Srinivas

In the example I was giving I just talked about year, month and day to
get
the concept across. You would need to add the century value in too.

My second email explains in more detail about the key lists, etc, if it
doesn't then let me know.

In the paragraph after the example bit of code I gave I mention that I
have
assumed the name RecordDate as being the date field on file MyFile -
purely
for the example, as the example was showing how you would read all
records
within a date range where the target field was held on the file as a
single
date and not as elements. I am intrigued as to why you want to store
the
dates in their component parts on the file though?

All the best

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan Mason,

In my logical file I have 8 fields FCC FYY FMM FDD and TCC TYY TMM TDD
My user enters data in this way 01082002 TO 31122007
If I create keys in reverse order year month and day how do I point to
record, if my records are in century year month format

One more thing why you have used RecordDate and what value does
RecordDate
Will have.

Sorry I'm unable to catch the point.

Thanks in advance

Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Srinvas

The key is to have the date in reverse format, in other words Year,
Month
Day as that will put the dates in the correct order. For example,
suppose
you had the following dates:

01/11/07
02/10/07
03/09/07

Sequencing them in DD/MM/YY doesn't give you the correct order or
records.
If you tried to select records from 01/09/07 to 30/09/07 the first
record
you would read would be the 01/11/07 which isn't in the date range.
Depending on how the program was written you may or may not read any
more
programs in the loop.

If you store the dates on your file in YYMMDD order (or better still,
use a
date type field in *ISO format - YYYY-MM-DD) then the records would be
in
the following order:

2007-09-01
2007-10-02
2007-11-03

Which is the correct sequence. In your program you can now use SETLL
to
position to the 'first' record in your range and have a loop that tests
the
record you've read against the last date of your range. For example:

FMyFile IF E K Disk

D FromDate s d DatFmt(*ISO)
D ToDate s d DatFmt(*ISO)

C FromDate SetLL(e) MyFile
C DoU (RecordDate > ToDate) or
(%Eof(MyFile))
C Read(e) MyFile
C If Not %Eof(MyFile) and (RecordDate <=
ToDate)
C ...
C ... do some processing ...
C ...
C EndIf
C EndDo

C Eval *InLR = *On
C Return

Here the assumption is that MYFILE is keyed on RECORDDATE order and
that
RECORDDATE is a date type field in*ISO format. The DOU statement tests
to
see whether or not you need to read any more records and the IF
statement
makes sure that the record you read is in the correct range.

All the best

Jonathan

Hi every one,



How do I Select from Date To - To Date in RPGLE



Say suppose I have 20 records in a Physical File and I have 8 fields in
it.

Now I want to retrieve from Dates To - To Date.



I tried with the following way created a logical file of eight fields
all of them are keyed



In RPGLE program I have created KLIST ( KEY AND KEY1)



C KEY KLIST

C KFLD FDD

C KFLD FMM

C KFLD FCC

C KFLD FYY

C*

C KEY1 KLIST

C KFLD TDD

C KFLD TMM

C KFLD TCC

C KFLD TYY



With the help of KEY & Chain I can able to set pointer to from date and
read the record.

But how do I stop at To-Date.



0004.43 C KEY CHAIN DSPREC 90





Please Can any one guide me on this issue.



Thanks in Advance

I want to retrieve records from 10 to 15, I can able to set pointer and
