DSXchange

Thanks Ray,

It worked after I used convert function.

In the above code, I'm replacing the header with blank lines, is there a way to remove the blank lines before I write to a sequential file.


Thanks,

Simple IF statement to control whether WRITESEQ is executed.

You can also put HEADER SUPPRESS at the end of the SQL query.

Thanks Ray,

I tried with SUPRESS HEADER option as you mentioned, but I'm receiving an error message, so I commented the SUPRESS COLUMN HEADING statement, so I tried with unix sed command and its working fine. Please let me know if SUPRESS statement is wrong.

Tell me the exact error message you got from the SQL, or review the UniVerse SQL User's Guide (downloadable from Rocket Software).
