Re: Adding all the box quantities for a item

Hi,

They are like below :-


On display file screen (a subfile)


Enter item number :- .................


Once we enter item number then program need to look for this item number in
a item master file and if it successfully finds an item in it then it
further checks corresponding boxes ( for each item there might be multiple
such boxes in box id field of this same item master file) and for each
such box there is corresponding 'quantity' field is there in same item
master file so we need to add all such quantities for all the individual
boxes and then finally sum it up and show on display file screen.

Just for more clarification:-

Box no. Quantity
Box 1 5
Box 2 7
Box 3 15

Then just for example if all the above 3 boxes are there for item number
'xyz' then
Program should be able to read this item master file for a specfic item
number which is entered on display file(which is a subfile with record,
control, header and footer but does not contain column headings on display
screen for these boxes but such multiple boxes are present in this item
master file for each such item number )

And then program should add quantities for all these boxes and on the
display file(subfile) it should be able to display like :- "Tot
Quantities: 27 Sum"





Thanks a lot.. ..

Sorry, my previous reply was incorrect. No need for GROUP BY.Is each box a
separate row in the item master table or is each box and quantity a
separate column in the same row? If the former:exec sqlSELECT
sum(quantity) INTO :totalQtyFROM item_master WHERE item_number =
:itemNo;Your display file will define the field TOTALQTY.Yours truly,Glenn
